Please answer attached question (3) Ladders used by fruit pickers are typically tapered with a wide bottom for stabilityand a narrow top for ease of picking. If the bottom rung of such a ladder is 49 incheswide and the top rung is 19 inches wide. Stating explicitly the formulae used,determine:(i) How many rungs does the ladder have if each rung is 2.5 inches shorter than theone below it?(ii) How much material would be needed to make the rungs for the ladder described?

Given bottom rung = 49 in Top rung = 19 in Each rung is 2.5 inches shorter than the one below it.

Answered: (3) Ladders used by fruit pickers are…
