First you need to subtract 471.41 and 397.46.

471.41 - 397.46= 73.95

The tenths place is the number after the decimal. In number 73.95, the number in the tenths place would be 9. The answer would be C) 74.

(Let me know if you don't understand. I'll try to explain it in more detail.)

Answer choice: [B] or [C]; could be considered correct; depending on the perspective (explained below).
 Personally, I would go with: Answer choice: [C]: "74" ; because:

1) It's an easier number to "work with" than "Answer choice: [B]: "73.9" ; and:
2) The question asks to "estimate the answer".
____________________________________________________________
One interpretation would be:
______________________________
Consider the math problem given:
________________________________
" 471.41 – 397.46 = ? " ;
_____________________________
And round each of THESE values to the nearest TENTH:
________________________________________________
471.4 – 397.5 = 73.9 ; this answer: "73.9" ; is already rounded to the nearest "tenth"; and does correspond with answer choice: [B].
____________________________________________________
Yet, answer interpretation of this math problem, would be:
____________________________________________________
Given: "471.41 – 397.46 = ?? " ;
________________________________
Solve this problem as it is; and round the actual answer obtained to the nearest "tenth":
___________________________________________
Doing so, we get:
___________________________________________
 "471.41 – 397.46 = 73.95 ." This value, rounded to the nearest "tenth", would be: "74.0" (which is not an answer choice, technically speaking); or "74" (because, in "mathematics", "74.0 = 74"; and we are asked in the problem to "estimate for the answer", so the answer would be:
Answer choice: [C]: 74 .

So, answer choice: [B] or [C]; could be considered correct; depending on the perspective. Personally, I would go with: Answer choice: [C]: "74"; because:
1) It's an easier number to "work with" than "Answer choice: [B]: 73.9" ;
and: 2) The question asks to "estimate the answer".

6. Two observers, 7220 feet apart, observe a balloonist flying overhead between them. Their measures of the

MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

The ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call:

h the height of the ballonist above the ground,

a the distance between the two observers,

$a_1$ the horizontal distance between the first observer and the ballonist

$a_2$ the horizontal distance between the second observer and the ballonist

$\alpha _1$ and $\alpha _2$ the angles of elevation meassured by each observer

S the area of the triangle formed with the observers and the ballonist

So, the area of a triangle is the length of its base times its height.

$S=a*h$ (equation 1)

but we can divide the triangle in two right triangles using the height line. So the total area will be equal to the addition of each individual area.

$S=S_1+S_2$ (equation 2)

$S_1=a_1*h$

But we can write $S_1$ in terms of $\alpha _1$ , like this:

$\tan(\alpha _1)=\frac{h}{a_1} \\a_1=\frac{h}{\tan(\alpha _1)} \\S_1=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _1)}$

And for $S_2$ will be the same:

$S_2=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _2)}$

Replacing in the equation 2:

$S=\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{h^{2} }{\tan(\alpha _2)}\\S=h^{2}*(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})$

And replacing in the equation 1:

$h^{2}*(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})=a*h\\h=\frac{a}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})}$

So, we can replace all the known data in the last equation:

$h=\frac{a}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(\alpha _1)}+\frac{1}{\tan(\alpha _2)})}\\h=\frac{7220 ft}{(\frac{1 }{\tan(35.6)}+\frac{1}{\tan(58.2)})}\\h=3579,91 ft$

Then, the ballonist is at a height of 3579.91 ft above the ground at 3:30pm.

Please help answer ASAP Thanks will give BRAINLIEST and 15 points What is the volume of this prism?

serg [7]

Answer:

D) 672 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular prism is found by the product of its length, width, and height, so the equation is V = l * w * h.

Plug in: V = 12 * 7 * 8

Multiply: V = 672 in³
