30 feet. And you don't have to round it to the nearest foot. It's exactly 30 feet.

A ladder that leans against a building makes an angle of 49 degree with the ground and reaches a point on the building 12m above the ground Find the length of the ladder to the nearest meter?
The ladder forms a right angle with the building: the ground and the building forming the right angle and the ladder forming the hypotenuse. If the length of the ladder is L metres, then sin(49) = 12/L So L = 12/sin(49) = 15.9 = 16 metres.
The foot of a ladder is placed 5 feet from a building the top of the ladder rests 12 feet up on the building how long is the ladder?
13 feet
A farmer leans a 12-ft ladder against a barn The base of the ladder is 3 ft from the barn To the nearest foot how high on the barn does the ladder reach?
Arthur Pythagoras rules! 12 x 12 = 3 x 3 + x2, so x2 = 144 - 9 and x = sqrt 135 = 11.62 so to the nearest foot it reaches 12 feet (actually 11.62)
A ladder rests against a wall the top of the ladder reaches 15 feet up the wall and makes an angle of 53 with the wall how long is the ladder?
If the wall is straight and the ground level then this is an outline of a right angle-triangle. If the top of the ladder makes an angle of 530 with the wall then the bottom of the ladder must make 370 to the ground. Use the sine ratio to find the length of the ladder (which will be the hypotenuse) sin = opp/hyp rearranged to hyp = opp/sin hyp = 15/sin370 = 24.92460212 feet So the length of the ladder is 25 feet correct to the nearest foot.

A ladder that leans against a building makes an angle of 49 degree with the ground and reaches a point on the building 12m above the ground Find the length of the ladder to the nearest meter?
The ladder forms a right angle with the building: the ground and the building forming the right angle and the ladder forming the hypotenuse. If the length of the ladder is L metres, then sin(49) = 12/L So L = 12/sin(49) = 15.9 = 16 metres.
