To find the width of the park, we must divide the area by the length.
Area = 1.36 x 10^8 ft^2
Length = 1.6 x 10^4 ft
Width = Area / Length
Width = (1.36 x 10^8 ft^2) / (1.6 x 10^4 ft)
To divide these numbers, we subtract the exponents of 10 and divide the coefficient:
Width = (1.36 / 1.6) x 10^(8-4) ft
Width = 0.85 x 10^4 ft
Simplifying the coefficient, we get:
Width = 8.5 x 10^3 ft
Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5 x 10^3 ft.
The answer is c) 8.5 x 10^3 ft.
