Regard the ladder as the hypotenuse and the distance from the wall as one leg of a right angled triangle.
Then, 262 = 102 + H2 : where H is the height reached up the wall by the ladder.
H2 = 676 - 100 = 576 : H = √576 = 24

The ladder forms the hypotenuse (r) and the wall forms the vertical (y) of a right triangle. sin theta = y / r the angle at the bottom is (90 - 32) = 58 sin 58 = 20 / r r = 20 / sin 58 = 23.583568067241928552025478405751 feet ladder must be about (rounding) 23.6 feet long.
he should bud the ladder so it wouldn't be able to reach
Answer your self dont know

You lean a ladder that reaches to the top of a house. You want to measure how tall the house is, but you can't measure it. The base of the ladder is 6 feet away from the house and the ladder is 26 feet long. How tall is the house?
13 feet
To safely access the roof using a ladder extension, make sure the ladder is long enough to reach the roof and is securely placed on a stable surface. Extend the ladder at least 3 feet above the roof edge for stability. Use proper ladder safety techniques, such as maintaining three points of contact and facing the ladder while climbing. Have someone hold the ladder at the base for added stability.
15 meters, or less, depending on the angle.
