To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, we need to add the area of the national park and the area of the national forest.
Area of the national park = 1.42 × 10^6 acres
Area of the national forest = 1.2 × 10^6 acres
Adding them together, we get:
Total area = 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.
To find the total number of acres in the park and the forest combined, you need to add the areas of the park and the forest.
The park covers an area of 1.42 × 10^6 acres, and the forest covers an area of 1.2 × 10^6 acres. Add these two values together:
1.42 × 10^6 + 1.2 × 10^6 = 2.62 × 10^6 acres
Therefore, the correct answer is 2.62 × 10^6.
