A rectangular park has an area of 1.36 * 10 ^ 8 ft to the power of 2 the length of the park is 1.6 * 10 ^ 4 ft divide the area by the length to the find the width of the park

1 answer

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

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)

Now, let's perform the division:

Width = (1.36 / 1.6) * (10^8 / 10^4) ft
Width = 0.85 * 10^4 ft

To simplify, we can write it as:

Width = 8.5 * 10^3 ft

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