Answer:
38.29°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle of elevation to the top of the tower :
Opposite side = vertical height of tower = 75 feets
Adjacent = 95 feets = horizontal lengtb of base
Using the trigonometric relation :
Tan θ = opposite / Adjacent
Tan θ = 75 / 95
Tan θ = 0.7894736
θ = tan^-1(0.7894736)
θ = 38.29°
