It is recommended that a ladder be placed 2 feet away from the Wall for every 5 feet of height. How far from the Wall should a 20 foot ladder be placed?
Set up a proportion:
2ft away from the wall / 5ft = (x)ft away from the wall / 20ft
Run this proportion through our calculator by typing: 2/5=x/20
x = 8 ft
