Answer:

14.6 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the ladder be the hypotenuse, the distance from the wall be the base and the height till the ladder reaches be the perpendicular.

Using Pythogoras theorem,

H^2 = p^2+b^2

p^2 = H^2-b^2

p = under root(H^2-b^2)

p = under root(225 - 12.25)

p = 14.6 feet
