Will give BRAINLIEST! If the distance from the boat to the lighthouse is 120 meters and the angle of elevation is 40°, which of the following equations will find the height of the lighthouse?

A right triangle is formed from the distance between a boat and the bottom of a lighthouse, the height of the lighthouse, and the distance from the boat to the top of the lighthouse; the angle of elevation from the boat to the top of the lighthouse is x degrees.

cos 40° = 120 over 7

cos 40° = y over 120

tan 40° = 120 over 7

tan 40° = y over 120

tan 40° = y/120

I took the test and got this correct.

the one above is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
