To find the width of the park, we need to divide the area by the length.

Area = length x width

Given:
Area = 1.36×10^8 ft^2
Length = 1.6×10^4 ft

Width = Area / Length

Width = (1.36×10^8 ft^2) / (1.6×10^4 ft)

Simplifying, we can subtract the exponents:

Width = 8.5×10^(8 - 4) ft

Width = 8.5×10^4 ft

Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5×10^4 ft.
