It is not a proportion. There needs to be aroubd a 75 degree angle from the ground to the base. If it is too flat the ladder can slip out from underneath you. If it is too steep you can tip back. There is usually an angle at the bottom of the ladder if that is flat on the ground then that should be the safest angle (75 degrees)

Using Pythagoras' theorem the the foot of the ladder should be 12 feet away from the base of the building.

You may set the correct distance by trying different angles so that you feel confortable when climbing the ladder. Approximately between 80 to 130 cm. But it is the correct angle that can tell you the adequate distance from the wall. Only by climbing a ladder you know it. I advise you to put a piece of rubber under the ladder so that it can't slip.

OSHA is unclear but the distance should be 12". The first step on a ladder can vary between 6" and 18".
he should bud the ladder so it wouldn't be able to reach

A building line refers to a specified distance from the sides of the lot that shows where a given building should be built. It is very important because it provides a specified distance that a building should be from a given property.
The type of wood that you use is one of the most important safety concerns that should be considered when building a loft ladder. You will also want to make sure that it is treated so that it will last longer.
About 15 degrees. Many, if not most, extension ladders today have a sticker on the side that shows a line that should be parallel to the ground when the ladder is at the proper safe angle.
The best tip I've come to is that for every four feet of height you have to climb, move the base one foot away from the wall. Better still is to have someone foot the ladder, or to fasten the ladder with a rope, preferably near the top of the ladder to avoid the ladder sliding sideways.
