49,250 square meters.
To find the area of the trapezoid, we use the formula:
Area = 1/2 * (base1 + base2) * height
Plugging in the values:
Area = 1/2 * (310 + 290) * 245
Area = 1/2 * 600 * 245
Area = 300 * 245
Area = 73,500 square meters
Therefore, the area of the diving section is 49,250 square meters.
An underwater diving area for snorkelers and scuba divers located in a city is designated by buoys and ropes, making the diving section into the shape of a trapezoid on the surface of the water. The trapezoid has a height of 245 meters. The bases are 310 meters and 290 meters. Find the area of the diving section.
The area of the diving section is
