Challenge Problem #8
Writer’s Rectangle
A park named Writer’s Rectangle recently opened in our town. When asked about the dimensions of the rectangle, Jarvis Jameson, 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.
Please help!

I think this could be the method but I'm not able to find the exact area in numerals! I'm sorry! I hope this helps you
