Assuming it is a two section ladder then it must therefore have a minimum length of 28 feet.

Screw the ladder, need a screw. Screw on the ladder may be difficult, much toppling and overbalance in the heat of the moment and the angle of the dangle, oh yes! Not seen a ladder screwing. So the answer is NO!
Yes, most or all people would consider a ladder to be one.
A technician should use a ladder that is appropriate for the specific job requirements, typically a fiberglass or aluminum extension ladder for outdoor or high-reach tasks due to their durability and stability. It's important to choose a ladder rated for the weight it will carry, ideally adhering to OSHA standards. Additionally, a step ladder can be useful for tasks at lower heights, while ensuring it is positioned on a stable surface. Always inspect the ladder for defects before use to ensure safety.
A rope ladder used in climbing is commonly referred to as a "climbing ladder" or "rope climbing ladder." These ladders are designed to be lightweight and portable, often featuring knots or rungs for easier grip and ascent. They are typically used in various climbing activities, including mountaineering, tree climbing, and rescue operations.
To determine the minimum height of a ladder needed to reach the top of the roof, measure the vertical distance from the ground to the top of the roof. This measurement will be the minimum height required for the ladder.
For a working height of 12 feet, the ladder should be placed at a base distance of approximately 3 feet away from the wall for every 4 feet of ladder height. This means the base of the ladder should be about 9 feet from the wall. Additionally, ensure that the ladder is on stable ground and that the top is securely positioned against the surface to prevent slipping. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for specific ladder types.
Lean a ladder against a wall. Not too steep . . . Give it a nice angle, for safe climbing. The height is the distance between the ground and the place where it hits the wall. The slant height is the length of the ladder.

This answer uses trigonometry to avoid a lot of work:tangent = opposite/adjacent and tangent*adjacent (base of ladder from the building) = opposite (height of ladder above ground)So: tangent 60 degrees*3 = 5.196152423Therefore: Top of the ladder above ground = 5.2 meters correct to one decimal place.More laborious methodThe right triangle formed by the wall, ground and ladder has sides in the ratio of 1::2::sq-rt-of-3. The shortest side is the one opposite the 30 degree angle, i.e., the given distance from wall to base of the ladder--3 m.The length of the ladder represents the hypotenuse of the triangle, and is twice as long, hence 6 m.And the height of the ladder's top from the ground is proportional to the third side whose length is sq-rt-3 times that of the shortest side. Sq-rt-3 is about 1.732, so height of the ladder's top at the wall is about 5.20 m, or 520 cm.

To safely secure an extension ladder with a rope, follow these steps: First, extend the ladder to the desired height and lean it against a stable surface. Then, tie a rope around the top rung of the ladder and secure it to a sturdy anchor point, such as a tree or a heavy object. Make sure the rope is tight and the ladder is stable before climbing.
A person climbing a ladder is using mechanical energy, if you are talking about types of energy.
To safely put a ladder on a sloped roof, use a ladder stabilizer or standoff to keep the ladder stable and prevent it from slipping. Make sure the ladder is long enough to extend at least 3 feet above the roof edge for proper support. Position the ladder at the correct angle, with the base of the ladder 1 foot away from the wall for every 4 feet of ladder height. Always have someone hold the ladder while you climb for added safety.
The angle formed between the ladder and the house is typically a right angle (90 degrees) if the ladder is resting against the wall of the house. This assumes that the base of the ladder is on the ground and the wall is vertical. If the ladder is leaning at an angle, the specific angle would depend on how far the base of the ladder is from the wall and its height against the wall.
