To find the number of square feet, we can divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.
Number of square feet = 2.967 x 10^5 bricks / 6.9 bricks per square foot
We can simplify this by dividing the coefficients:
Number of square feet = 4.3 x 10^4 square feet
Therefore, the answer is 2. 4.3 x 10^4.
