Andrew can reach a maximum of high up the wall.
The right-angled triangle formed can be solved using the ratio. that is
where is the distance from the foot of the wall to the tip of the ladder where it rests on the wall. Substituting, and solving for
, we get
Since Andrew can reach an extra above the point where the ladder rests against the wall, the maximum height Andrew can paint is

Let
x-------> the width of the rectangular area
y------> the length of the rectangular area
we know that
y=x+15------> equation 1
perimeter of a rectangle=2*[x+y]
2x+2y <= 150-------> equation 2
substitute 1 in 2
2x+2*[x+15] <=150--------> 2x+2x+30 <=150----> 4x <=150-30
4x <= 120---------> x <= 30
the width of the rectangular area is at most 30 ft
y=x+15
for x=30
y=30+15------> y=45
the length of the rectangular area is at most 45 ft
see the attached figure
the solution is<span> the shaded area</span>
