To find the number of square feet, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.

Number of square feet = Total number of bricks / Number of bricks per square foot

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

Number of square feet ≈ 4.30×10^4

Therefore, the answer is 4.3×10^4 (option D).

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

Number of bricks = 2.967 × 105
Bricks per square foot = 6.9

Square feet = Number of bricks / Bricks per square foot
Square feet = (2.967 × 105) / 6.9

Calculating this, the answer is approximately 4.3 × 104 square feet.

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

First, let's represent the number of bricks per square foot in scientific notation. We were given that there are 6.9 bricks per square foot. To write this in scientific notation, we need to move the decimal point to the right so that there is one digit to the left of the decimal point. In this case, we move the decimal point one place to the right, making it 0.69 × 10^1.

Next, we divide the total number of bricks (2.967 × 10^5) by the bricks per square foot (0.69 × 10^1):

(2.967 × 10^5) / (0.69 × 10^1) = 4.31014493 × 10^4

Rounding this to three significant figures gives:

4.31 × 10^4

Therefore, the answer is 4.31 × 10^4.
