HELP If the distance from the boat to the lighthouse is 115 meters and the angle of elevation is 42 which of the following equations will find the height of the class=

Respuesta :

Equations A will find the height of the lighthouse. Option A is correct.

What is trigonometry?

Trigonometry deals with the relationship between the sides and angles of a right-angle triangle.

(d)distance from the boat to the lighthouse =115 meters

Θ is the angle of elevation = 42"

h is the height

Apply the tangent formula in the obtained triangle;

[tex]\rm tan x^0 = \frac{y}{115^0} \\\\ tan 42''=\frac{y}{115} \\\\ tan 42'' = \frac{y}{115}[/tex]

The equations will find the height of the lighthouse is;

[tex]tan 42'' = \frac{y}{115}[/tex]

Hence, option A is correct.
