For the second problem I do not have the answer because the article didn't provide any steps and answer.

Anyone got some other ways or idea very welcome to share with other here.

Thank You

Hi Gamo, I think that what seems wrong in the second picture is that the lengths 40 and 30 feet have to refer to the length of the ladders and not like in the first problem to the touching point of the ladder on the wall.
