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

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)

Using the rules of exponents, we can simplify this calculation:

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

So, the width of the park is 8.5×10^3 ft.
