Answer:


110,400\ mi^2

Explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

The area of a trapezoid is equal to


A=(1)/(2)[b_1+b_2]h

where

b_1 and b_2 are the length of the parallel bases

h is the height (perpendicular distance between the parallel bases)

we have


b_1=210\ mi\\b_2=480\ mi\\h=320\ mi

substitute


A=(1)/(2)[210+480]320=110,400\ mi^2
