Hmm, maybe something like



Since the ladder is uniform, the Force of gravity will be right at the center.

Keep 2 things in mind, the ladder will not be accelerating vertically, nor horizontally. so

\[\large \sum_{}^{}F_y = 0\]
\[\large \sum_{}^{}F_x = 0\]

We do need to work with Torques here however I believe.
