A 20-foot extension ladder can typically reach a height of about 18 to 19 feet when fully extended, depending on the angle at which it is positioned and the height of the person using it. The ladder's top rung is not meant to be stood on for safety reasons, so the effective working height is slightly less than the total length. Always follow safety guidelines to ensure stability and proper usage.

What is the minimum length of a ladder required to access a roof surface 12 feet off the ground?

You should normally have three rungs(steps) past the surface you are climbing to from the ladder. They are a foot apart on most ladders so 15 feet would be close. Add a foot since you have to angle the ladder appropriately(scope) so 16 feet or longer is safe. A 20 foot extension ladder would be a good choice.

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 top?

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
