Sure.


There are approximately 2.54 cm per inch.  So there are roughly 2.54 times 12 = 30.48 cm per foot.  Then, since a meter is 100 centimeters, 1 foot is 0.3048 meters.  So multiply .30 times the height of the top of the ladder in feet to get the top of the ladder in meters.  Round to the nearest meter.


Hint:  13 and 5 are two numbers in a Pythagorean triple.
