Hey. Unfortunately, I cannot give you the answer but I will give you the steps. First, create the triangle with the given information. After, think about the sides, what are there and what are missing i.e. Opposite, Adjacent or Hypotenuse. hen, think about which of the formulas SOH, CAH or TOA you would use and then substitute the numbers in.
Hope it helps! (:

Yep, it mentions in the question "When the foot of the ladder is 1.7m from the foot of the wall" so you're completely right.
