Answer:

About 28.185 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Tangent relates the opposite side from the angle and the adjacent side, which are the known values in this case. The tangent of the angle of elevation is 12.7/23.7, meaning that the angle is arctan(12.7/23.7)= about 28.185 degrees. Hope this helps!
