No idea. Does the ladder reach the roof? If so, and it does not extend beyond the edge of the roof (see how poorly posed the problem is?)
sin60° = height/length
height = 0.866 * 166 = 143.76 in.
sin60° = height/length
height = 0.866 * 166 = 143.76 in.

House with a ladder measuring 166 inches forming a right triangle. The base angle formed by the ladder is 60 degrees.
If the ladder extends to a length of 166 inches, what is the height of the house, rounded to the nearest hundredth of an inch?
