Final answer:

To find the total distance Cameron jumped, add the height of the jump (2.7385 meters) to the height of the diving board above the water (1.00 meter), which equals 3.7385 meters. The closest option given is 3.00 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the total distance that Cameron jumped from the diving board. If Cameron jumps 2.7385 meters in the air off the diving board, and the diving board is 1.00 meter above the water, we must add these two distances to find the total distance jumped.

Total distance jumped = height of the jump + height of the diving board

Total distance jumped = 2.7385 meters + 1.00 meter

Total distance jumped = 3.7385 meters

However, the options provided in the question do not include this answer, so it seems there may be a misunderstanding in the question. The closest correct choice to the calculated distance is 3.00 meters (Option B), but based on the information provided, none of the options A) 1.00, B) 3.00, C) 2.00, D) 2.7385 exactly match the calculated total.
