How long is a ladder that reaches a window of a house 20m above the ground, if the distance of the foot of the ladder from the house is 10m?

Where would I begin?
Please help.
Thanks.
 
For this problem you could probably use the pythagorean theorem to find the other side of the triangle, if you were to draw it out you would be missing one side of a right triangle.
