O 4.3 * 10 ^ 4

© 0.43 * 10 ^ 4

O 4.3 * 10 ^ 5

2.33 * 10 ^ 5

Answer 1

To find the number of square feet in the pavilion, we can divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.

Number of square feet = Number of bricks / Bricks per square foot

Number of square feet = 2.967 * 10^5 / 6.9

Number of square feet = 0.430 * 10^5

Therefore, the answer in scientific notation is 4.3 * 10^4.
