    0.136m

    Step-by-step explanation:

    This is because if you draw a diagram, and label all the sides of the triangle (opp, hyp, adj), the adjacent angle is 3m. You can now use the sine rule to find the hypotenuse (length of ladder) by doing: cos 20 = 3/h. You divide cos (20) by 3 and you get the answer of 0.13602m.
