8.5×105 ft.
8.5 times 10 superscript 5 baseline ft.
8.5×102 ft.
8.5 times 10 squared ft.
8.5×103 ft.
8.5 times 10 cubed ft.
8.5×104 ft.
To find the width of the park, you would divide the area by the length.
Area / Length = Width
Therefore, dividing 1.36×10^8 ft^2 by 1.6×10^4 ft gives us:
(1.36×10^8 ft^2) / (1.6×10^4 ft) = 8.5×10^3 ft
So, the width of the park is 8.5×10^3 ft or 8.5×10^3 ft.
To find the width of the park, we need to divide the area of the park by its length.
Area = 1.36 × 10^8 ft^2
Length = 1.6 × 10^4 ft
Dividing the area by the length, we get:
Width = Area / Length
Width = (1.36 × 10^8 ft^2) / (1.6 × 10^4 ft)
To divide these numbers, subtract the exponents:
Width = 1.36 / 1.6 × 10^(8-4) ft
Width = 0.85 × 10^4 ft
Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5 × 10^3 ft.
To find the width of the park, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
Area = Length × Width
Given that the area of the park is 1.36 × 10^8 ft^2 and the length is 1.6 × 10^4 ft, we can divide the area by the length to find the width.
Width = Area / Length
Width = (1.36 × 10^8 ft^2) / (1.6 × 10^4 ft)
To divide numbers written in scientific notation, we subtract the exponents of the powers of 10 and divide the coefficients.
Width = 1.36 × 10^(8-4) / 1.6
Width = 1.36 × 10^4 / 1.6
Width = 8.5 × 10^3 ft
Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5 × 10^3 ft, or 8,500 ft.
