Question

A 4.2 x 10^5
B 2.33 x 10^5
C 4.3 x 10^4
D 0.43 x 10^4

Answer 1

To find the square footage of the pavilion, we first need to calculate how many bricks were used in building it.

Total number of bricks = 2.967 x 10^5
Bricks per square foot = 6.9

Square footage = Total number of bricks / Bricks per square foot
Square footage = (2.967 x 10^5) / 6.9
Square footage = 4.3 x 10^4

Therefore, the answer is C) 4.3 x 10^4.
