Default Step Ladders

Our cottage has a vaulted ceiling in the main living area and I want to buy a new step ladder that will allow me to accomplish maintenance projects at the highest point(s). The height at the highest point is approximately 14'. I'm thinking of buying a 10' step ladder but I don't know if a 10' ladder is actually 10' tall or not. Does anyone know whether a 10' ladder is actually 10' high or is it something less than that due to the triangulation of the sides when it is opened up??
