A rectangular park has an area of 1.36 * 10 ^ 8-ft power 2 the length of the park is 1.6 times 10 power 4 ft divide the area by the length to find the width of the park
To find the width of the park, we need to divide the area of the park by its length.
Area of the park = 1.36 * 10^8 ft^2
Length of the park = 1.6 * 10^4 ft
Width = Area / Length
Width = (1.36 * 10^8 ft^2) / (1.6 * 10^4 ft)
To divide the numbers written in scientific notation, we can divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents:
Width = (1.36 / 1.6) * 10^(8-4) ft
Width = 0.85 * 10^4 ft
Width = 8.5 * 10^3 ft
Width = 8,500 ft
Therefore, the width of the park is 8,500 ft.
