A national park covers an area of 1.42×10^6 acres. A nearby national forest covers an area of 1.2×10^6acres. What is the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined?

Answer 1

To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, you simply add the areas of the two regions together.

1.42×10^6 acres + 1.2×10^6 acres = 2.62×10^6 acres

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