To find the number of square feet, we need to divide the total number of bricks by the number of bricks per square foot.
Total number of bricks: 2.967 × 105
Bricks per square foot: 6.9
Square feet = Total number of bricks / Bricks per square foot
Square feet = (2.967 × 105) / 6.9
Square feet = 4.3 × 10^4
Therefore, the answer is 4.3×104.
