Answer:

15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder is the hypotenuse of a right triangle, with the legs being 9 ft and 12 ft long (see the picture).

To solve for the length of the ladder, use the Pythagorean Theorem.

9^{2} +12^{2} =c^{2} \\c=\sqrt{9^{2} +12^{2}} \\c=\sqrt{81+144} \\c=\sqrt{225} \\c=15

16/2 = 8

She took 8 steps forward and 8 steps backward.
