Answer 1

Part A

The required wood for the ladder is 98 feet

Part B

The cost of the wood is 49,000

Explanation:

Part A

The dimensions of the ladder to be made with wood are;

The distance between each step of ladder = 1 foot

The length of the ladder = 25 feet

The width of the ladder = 2 feet

The required wood = 2 × 25 feet/rail + 2 feet/steps × 24 steps = 98 feet

The required wood for the ladder = 98 feet

Part B

The cost of the wood = 500/foot × 98 feet = 49,000

The cost of the wood = 49,000
