without either the length of the ladder or the height of the wall, there's no way to tell.
If the top of the ladder is directly above a point x feet from the base of the wall of height h, all we know is that
h/8 = 19/(x+8)
If the top of the ladder is directly above a point x feet from the base of the wall of height h, all we know is that
h/8 = 19/(x+8)
