Holt Park is divided into two sections. The swing section is 8 yards long and has an area of 112 square yards. The playground section has the same length as the swing section, but it is 3 yards wider. What is the total area of Holt Park?

The swing section is 8 yards long and has an area of 112 square yards. Therefore, the width of the swing section is 14 yards. The playground section has the same length as the swing section (8 yards), but it is 3 yards wider (17 yards). The area of the playground section is 8 * 17 = 136 square yards. The total area of Holt Park is the sum of the areas of the swing section and the playground section, which is 112 + 136 = 248 square yards. im pretty sure!!
