I think the answer is 25.5. Although, I don't know how you would have half a bike unless there was a 3 wheel bike which would make the answer 24.
Answer: " 94. 6 ft² ".

<u>Step-by-step explanation</u>:
The formula for the area of a trapezoid:
______________________
A = (1/2) * (b1 + b2) * (perpendicular height, "h" ) ;
in which:
______________________
"A = area (in units of ft²) "
"b1 = length of (base one) = 7.7 ft (from diagram) ;
"b2 = length of (base two—the other base) = 14.3 ft. ;
"h = height (perpendicular) = 8.6 ft.
_______________________
To solve for the Area, "A" ; we plug in the known values:
_______________________
A = (1/2) * (b1 + b2) * (perpendicular height, "h" );
= (1/2) * (7.7 ft + 14.3 ft) * (8.6 ft) ;
= (1/2) * (22 ft.) * (8.6 ft) ;
= (11 ft.) * (8.6 ft.) ;
= (11) * (8.6) * (ft.) * (ft.) ;
= (11) * (8.6) * ft² ;
A = " 94. 6 ft² ".

School to mall - 16 miles
mall to library - 30 miles
16²+30²=X²
256+900=X²
X²=1156
X=34
16+30=46
hypotenuse = 34
46-34=12
So Mike travel 12 miles more.
