You want to clean some leaves out of a gutter on your roof. The gutter is 8m above the ground. You want the top of the ladder to rest against the wall no more than 50cm below the gutter. You don't want the ladder to make an angle any steeper than 80 degrees from the horizontal. What is the shortest ladder you coud use?
With the available information, you cannot. You also need the pitch or the height of the roof above the height of the enclosure.

DormerThe window is still a window, but the whole opening with the intersecting roof line producing 2 valleys and one ridge, and the walls and 3 sides with the window opening is called a Dormer.

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.
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.
A roof ladder or an extension ladder can be used for accessing the roof of one's home. One should take precautions when using a roof ladder to ensure safety. One should position the ladder so the bottom of the ladder is away from the wall one foot for every four feet in height it will be raised. The top of the ladder should be extended no more than four feet above the roof line. One should keep their body in the center of the rungs as they climb the ladder.
Assuming it is a two section ladder then it must therefore have a minimum length of 28 feet.
To safely climb a ladder to access your roof, make sure the ladder is on a stable surface and is at the correct angle (about 75 degrees). Always face the ladder and use three points of contact (two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand) while climbing. Do not lean too far to the side and avoid carrying heavy items while climbing. Use a ladder that is tall enough to extend at least 3 feet above the roof edge for easy access.
"Up the Ladder to the Roof" by The Supremes was released in 1970.
The preposition in the sentence is "against." The ladder was leaning against the roof.
No. since the ladder must be on an angle it must have room so that the length of the ladder is equal to the 282 + (distance between bottom of ladder and house)2.

To safely climb onto a roof, use a sturdy ladder that reaches at least 3 feet above the roof edge. Make sure the ladder is on a stable surface and is angled properly. Wear non-slip shoes and use handrails if available. Always have someone spot you and never climb onto a wet or icy roof.
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.
