Answer 1

To find the total number of acres in the park and forest combined, you simply need to add the areas of the park and the forest.

Area of the park = 1.42 × 10^6 acres
Area of the forest = 1.2 × 10^6 acres

Total area = (1.42 × 10^6) + (1.2 × 10^6) = 2.62 × 10^6 acres

Therefore, the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined is 2.62 × 10^6 acres.
