$distance=912.5 mile$ $"distance=912.5 mile"$

Explanation:

$estimated distance from Phoenix to Yellowstone is equal to area under graph$ $"estimated distance from Phoenix to Yellowstone is equal to area under graph"$
$area ABJ= \frac{40 \cdot 0.5}{2} = 10 mile$ $"area ABJ="(40*0.5)/2=10" mile"$
$area JBCK= \frac{(40 + 50) \cdot 2.5}{2} = 112.5 mile$ $"area JBCK="((40+50)*2.5)/2=112.5" mile"$
$area KCDL= 50 \cdot 1 = 50 mile$ $"area KCDL="50*1=50" mile"$
$area LDEM= \frac{(50 + 60) \cdot 3}{2} = 165 mile$ $"area LDEM="((50+60)*3)/2=165" mile"$
$area MEFN= 60 \cdot 1 = 60 mile$ $"area MEFN="60*1=60" mile"$

$area NFGO= \frac{(60 + 80) \cdot 0.5}{2} = 35 mile$ $"area NFGO="((60+80)*0.5)/2=35" mile"$

$area OGHP= 80 \cdot 3.5 = 280 mile$ $"area OGHP="80*3.5=280" mile"$

$area PHI= \frac{80 \cdot 5}{2} = 200 mil$ $"area PHI="(80*5)/2=200" mil"$

$distance= 10 + 112.5 + 50 + 165 + 60 + 35 + 280 + 200$ $"distance="10+112.5+50+165+60+35+280+200$

$distance=912.5 mile$ $"distance=912.5 mile"$
