Distance between two points P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2) is given by: d(P, Q) = √ (x2 − x1)2 + (y2 − y1)2 {Distance formula} 2. Distance of a point P(x, y) from the origin is given by d(0,P) = √ x2 + y2.

A masonry contractor is preparing an estimate for building a stone wall and gate. He estimates that the job will take a 40-hour

kodGreya [7K]

Solution: Estimated time for the work is 40 hour work week.

Estimated payment to 3 laborers working 40 hours at cost $14 per hour is:

$3\times 40\times 14=$ $1680

Estimated payment to 6 masons working 40 hours at cost $24 per hour is:

$6\times 40\times 24=$ $5760

Estimated cost of material = $3143

Contractor wishes to make a profit of $500

Therefore, the mathematical expression that will give the estimated cost of the job is:

$Cost = 1680+5760+3143+500$

The estimated total cost is:

Cost =$11083
