A building has a window that is 12 feet high. Stan is going to use a ladder to get up to the window and decides to keep the ladder 5 feet away from the side of the building. How long does the ladder need to be?

I've just researched this and it's saying it should be at least a 15' ladder :D

Hope this helps, comment if it's incorrect and press 'thanks' if it's right :)
