Answer: 16.91°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can draw a right triangle as you can see in the figure attached.

2. Then you can calculate the angle of elevation (α) as following:

\alpha=arcsin(\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse})

Where:

opposite=32\\hypotenuse=110

3. Now you must substitute these values. Then, the angle of elevation is:

 \alpha=arcsin(\frac{32}{110})

\alpha=16.91\°
