Area of b1 = 9, b2 = 16, h = 13.4.

Assuming this is a trapezoid:

(b1+b2)/2*h

(9+16)/2*13.4

25/2*13.4

12.5*13.4=167.5

167.5

let y equal to

the total fare and x is the mile of taxi ride. so the equation is

y = 0.55x + 1.75

since susie has

$10 to spend for a taxi cab, so he can have

10 = 0.55x +

1.75

x = 15 miles of

taxi ride

so the system of

inequality is

10 < 0.55x +

1.75

x > 2
