8.5×104 ft.
8.5 times 10 superscript 4 baseline ft.
8.5×103 ft.
8.5 times 10 cubed ft.
8.5×102 ft.
8.5 times 10 squared ft.
8.5×105 ft.
To find the width of the park, we need to divide the area by the length:
Width = Area / Length
Width = (1.36×10^8 ft^2) / (1.6×10^4 ft)
Simplifying the expression:
Width = (1.36/1.6) × 10^(8-4) ft
Width = 0.85 × 10^4 ft
Converting scientific notation to standard form:
Width = 0.85 × 10,000 ft
Width = 8,500 ft
So, the width of the park is 8,500 ft.
