Answer:

12 feet ladder

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of 12 ft ladder :

Using Pythagoras :

Tan θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Tan 57 = h / 12

1.5398649 * 12 = 18.48 feets

For 16 feet ladder :

Tan θ = Adjacent / hypotenus

Tan 30 = h / 16

0.5773502 * 16 = 9.24 feets

18.48 > 9.24

Hence, he'll climb the 12 feets ladder to the higher height
