To find how far the base of the ladder is from the building, we can use the properties of a right triangle. With a 45-degree angle, the height at which the ladder touches the building is equal to the distance from the building to the base of the ladder. Therefore, using the Pythagorean theorem, the distance from the wall is approximately 10 feet.
The proper distance of a ladder from a wall can be determined using the 4-to-1 rule: for every four feet of height you want to reach, the base of the ladder should be one foot away from the wall. This means if the top of the ladder is 12 feet high, it should be placed 3 feet away from the wall. This positioning helps ensure stability and safety while using the ladder. Always make sure the ladder is on a firm, level surface and positioned securely.

10 feet, and it is at a very dangerous angle.
For a working height of 12 feet, the ladder should be placed at a base distance of approximately 3 feet away from the wall for every 4 feet of ladder height. This means the base of the ladder should be about 9 feet from the wall. Additionally, ensure that the ladder is on stable ground and that the top is securely positioned against the surface to prevent slipping. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines for specific ladder types.
That probably refers to the ratio between the length of the ladder, and the distance at which you place the bottom part of the ladder from the wall. If this distance is too short, you have the risk of the ladder falling backwards.

OSHA is unclear but the distance should be 12". The first step on a ladder can vary between 6" and 18".

The cosmic distance ladder is a series of methods that astronomers use to measure distances to objects in space, such as stars, galaxies, and other celestial bodies. It relies on combining various distance measurement techniques, such as parallax, standard candles, and redshift, to determine distances at different scales in the universe. This ladder helps us understand the vastness and structure of the cosmos.
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.

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.
