To find the width of the park, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Width} = \frac{\text{Area}}{\text{Length}} \]
Given:
- Area = \(1.36 \times 10^3 \text{ ft}^2\) (assuming the intended exponent is 3, as "10" should usually be followed by an exponent for clarity)
- Length = \(1.6 \times 10^2 \text{ ft}\)
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[ \text{Width} = \frac{1.36 \times 10^3}{1.6 \times 10^2} \]
To perform the division, you can divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents.
- Divide the coefficients:
\[ \frac{1.36}{1.6} = 0.85 \]
- Subtract the exponents:
\[ 10^{3 - 2} = 10^1 \]
Now, combine these results:
\[ \text{Width} = 0.85 \times 10^1 = 8.5 \text{ ft} \]
Therefore, the width of the park is \(8.5\) feet.
