Answer:

The ladder is approx 14.21 feet long.

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the ladder is 7 feet from the fence, which is 2 feet from the building, so it will be 9 feet from the building.

The top of the ladder will reach the window which is 11 feet from the ground.

In this way, we get a right triangle with the ladder as the hypotenuse, that we have to find.

Let the hypotenuse be x.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we get;

9^{2} +11^{2} =x^{2}

=> 81+121=x^{2}

=> 202=x^{2}

=> x=\sqrt{202}

=> x = 14.21

Hence, the ladder is approx 14.21 feet long.
