A rectangular park 2009-02-06
From Debbie:
A park named Writer's Rectangle opened in town. When asked about the dimensions of the rectangle, the city planner, responded with these clues: ---The diagonals of the rectangular park plus its longer sides together measure seven times one of the shorter sides. ---The length of one diagonal is 250 m longer than one of the shorter sides. Use this information to find the area of the park.
