Answer:

  60°

Step-by-step explanation:

The mnemonic SOH CAH TOA reminds you of the relationship between angles and sides in a right triangle. Here, we're given the side Adjacent and the side Opposite the angle of interest. This makes it appropriate to choose the relation ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

For our angle of elevation α, this means ...

  tan(α) = 125/72

  α = arctan(125/72) = 60.058°

  α ≈ 60°

The angle of elevation is about 60°.
