#"No"#

Explanation:

#"We have a right triangle, the right angle being between"#
#"the ground and the wall"#

#"the angle between the ground and the ladder is " 65^@#

#"require to find the height ( h ) the ladder goes up the wall"#

#"using "color(blue)"trigonometric ratio " sin("angle")=("opposite")/"hypotenuse"#

#"in relation to the "65^@" angle"#

#h" is the opposite and the ladder is the hypotenuse"#

#rArrsin65^@=h/11larr" cross-multiply"#

#rArrh=11xxsin65^@~~9.969" to 3 dec. places"#

#"in conclusion the ladder does not reach 10 feet "#
#"above the ground"#
