    In triangle ABC

    AC = hypotenuse = length of ladder = 12 ft

    BC = opposite = height on the wall of house = h

    θ = angle of the ladder with the horizontal = 64 deg

    using trigonometric formula

    Sinθ = opposite/hypotenuse

    Sinθ = BC/AC

    Sinθ = h/L

    Sin64 = h/12

    h = 12 Sin64

    h = 10.8 ft

    since h > 10.5 ft (height of the window)

    hence the ladder reach well above the window
