Well I have a tip on what you could do for number one. Draw out on a piece of paper a tree and a 25ft ladder. Also draw out everything else and try to measure it and see what you get. If it us a multiple choice question see which answer is close to what you got or is what you got. That is usually what I do. Hope that helped!
Bella -- please do not answer questions unless you're positive you're right. Also -- it's not necessary to answer a question that has already received a correct answer.
Well what happened is when I was writing this Steve posted his and you can see that his is shorter and mine is longer. So Mine took a little long than his so his came before mine. I did not know until after posted my answer, that someone already answered. And understood, I wont let that happen, again.
