A ladder is situated against a wall in such a way that its foot is at a distance of 2.5m away from the wall and its vertex touches a window which is at a height of 6m from the ground.Then the length of the ladder will be

In the road of Laxmi's locality there is a ladder of 15m length kept in such a way that it has touched Pujas's window at a height of 9 m above the ground. Now keeping the foot of the ladder at the same point of that road, the ladder is rotated in such a way that it touched Laxmi's window situated on the other side of the road. If Laxmi's window is 12m above the ground, then determine the breadth of that road.
