Answer 1

The ladder has 39.6 feet

Explanation:

Length Units Conversion

To convert from meters to feet we use the relation

1 m = 3.3 ft

The ladder that Nicholas needs to repair the roof of his grandmother's hours is 12 meter long.

Converting this length to feet we have

12 * 3.3 = 39.6 ft

The ladder has 39.6 feet
