Answer:

The answer is 50 feet.

Explanation:

Heather is building a ladder for her tree house. She will need 13 feet of lumber for each stilt and 2 feet of lumber for each rung on the ladder.

Now, there are 2 stilts and 12 rungs.

So, for stilts she needs
13*2 feet of lumber.

And for 12 rungs, she needs
12*2 feet of lumber.

Therefore, in total she needs:


(13*2)+(12*2)

=>
26+24=50 feet

Hence, the answer is 50 feet.
