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.
To find the width of the park, divide the area of the park by the length.
Area = 1.36×10^8 ft^2
Length = 1.6×10^4 ft
Width = Area / Length = (1.36×10^8 ft^2) / (1.6×10^4 ft)
To simplify the division, you can divide the numbers and subtract the exponents:
Width = (1.36 / 1.6) × 10^(8-4) ft
Width = 0.85 × 10^4 ft
Finally, write the answer in scientific notation:
Width = 8.5×10^3 ft
To find the width of the park, we need to divide the area of the park by its length.
Given that the area of the park is 1.36x10^8 ft^2 and the length is 1.6x10^4 ft, we can divide the area by the length:
(1.36x10^8 ft^2) / (1.6x10^4 ft)
To divide these numbers in scientific notation, we subtract the exponents:
1.36 / 1.6 = 0.85
Then, we subtract the exponents of 10:
10^(8-4) = 10^4
Combining the results, we get:
0.85 x 10^4
Converting this back into scientific notation, we have:
8.5 x 10^3 ft
So, the width of the park is 8.5x10^3 ft, which is equivalent to 8.5x10^3 ft or 8,500 ft.
