a rectangular has an area of 1.36*10^8ft^2.

the length of the park is .1.6*10^4 ft divided by the area by the length to find the width of the park
8.5*10^5ft
8.5*10^4ft
8.5*10^3ft
8.5*10^2ft

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

Length of the park = 1.6 * 10^4 ft
Area of the park = 1.36 * 10^8 ft^2

Width of the park = Area / Length
Width of the park = (1.36 * 10^8 ft^2) / (1.6 * 10^4 ft)

To divide two numbers in scientific notation, we subtract the exponents of the powers of 10 and divide the coefficients.

Width of the park = (1.36 / 1.6) * (10^8 / 10^4) ft
Width of the park = 0.85 * 10^(8-4) ft
Width of the park = 0.85 * 10^4 ft
Width of the park = 8.5 * 10^3 ft

Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5 * 10^3 ft.
