The situation forms the right triangle above:

Where x is the length of the ladder.

Apply the Pythagorean theorem:

c^2 = a^2 +b^1

where:

c = hypotenuse = longest side = x

A &b = the other 2 legs of the triangle

Replacing:

x^2 = 60^2 + 15^2

Solve for x

x^2 = 3,600 + 225

x^2 = 3,825

x =√3,825

x = 61.85 ft
