A large pavilion is made of 2.967 × 105 bricks. There are 6.9 bricks per square foot. How many square feet is the pavilion? Write the answer in scientific notation. (1 point)

To find the number of square feet the pavilion occupies, we can use the given information about the total number of bricks and the number of bricks per square foot.

Given:
- Total number of bricks = \( 2.967 \times 10^5 \)
- Bricks per square foot = 6.9

We can find the area in square feet by dividing the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot:

\[
\text{Area (square feet)} = \frac{\text{Total number of bricks}}{\text{Bricks per square foot}} = \frac{2.967 \times 10^5}{6.9}
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\text{Area} = 2.967 \times 10^5 \div 6.9 \approx 4.3 \times 10^4
\]

Thus, the area of the pavilion is approximately \( 4.3 \times 10^4 \) square feet.

So, the correct answer is:

**4.3 × 10⁴**
