You're locked out of your house and only open window is on the second floor, 30 feet above the ground. You need to borrow a ladder from one of your neighbors. There's a flower garden along the edge of the house, so you'll have to place the ladder 12 feet from the house. What length of ladder do you need to reach the window?
