To find the width of the park, you can use the formula:
\[ \text{Width} = \frac{\text{Area}}{\text{Length}} \]
Given:
- Area = \(1.36 \times 10^8 , \text{ft}^2\)
- Length = \(1.6 \times 10^4 , \text{ft}\)
Now, substitute the values into the formula:
\[ \text{Width} = \frac{1.36 \times 10^8 , \text{ft}^2}{1.6 \times 10^4 , \text{ft}} \]
To divide the numbers, first divide the coefficients and then subtract the exponents:
\[ \text{Width} = \frac{1.36}{1.6} \times 10^{8-4} \]
Calculating the coefficient:
\[ \frac{1.36}{1.6} = 0.85 \]
Now, subtract the exponents:
\[ \text{Width} = 0.85 \times 10^4 \]
To express \(0.85\) in scientific notation:
\[ 0.85 = 8.5 \times 10^{-1} \]
Thus, we can rewrite the width:
\[ \text{Width} = 8.5 \times 10^{-1} \times 10^4 = 8.5 \times 10^{3} , \text{ft} \]
Therefore, the width of the park is:
\[ \text{Width} = 8500 , \text{ft} \]
