Is there even one real answer? :S

If we assume the height of the wall at which the ladder touches is y and the space between the base of the ladder and the end of the box is x, we could do the following.

So y would depend on what angle the ladder is placed against the wall, which would determine the value of x. I can't say that is right, just a guess.
