To find the width of the park, you 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)
Simplifying the expression, you can divide the numerical values and subtract the exponents:
Width = 8.5×10^(8-4) ft
Width = 8.5×10^4 ft
Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5×10^4 ft.
