What is the answer.In this picture the dotted line represents a ladder. How high on the house does the ladder reach?
It appears to be a question that involves Pythagoras' theorem of a right angle triangle whereas the dotted line represents the hypotenuse and without any relevant information the height of the ladder from the ground can't be worked out.

If A painter leans a 34ft ladder against a building The base of the ladder is 16ft from the building To the nearest foot how high on the building does the ladder reach?
30 feet. And you don't have to round it to the nearest foot. It's exactly 30 feet.

A farmer leans a 12-ft ladder against a barn The base of the ladder is 3 ft from the barn To the nearest foot how high on the barn does the ladder reach?
Arthur Pythagoras rules! 12 x 12 = 3 x 3 + x2, so x2 = 144 - 9 and x = sqrt 135 = 11.62 so to the nearest foot it reaches 12 feet (actually 11.62)

How long must a ladder be to reach the top of a 20' wall if the ladder and the wall form a 32 degree angle (at the angle)?
Then an angle of 58 degrees will be at the bottom of the ladder. Use trigonometry and the sine ratio: sin = opp/hyp and hyp = opp/sin hyp = 20/sin(58) = 23.58356807 length of ladder = 24 feet to the nearest foot
