A golfer on a level fairway hits a ball at an angle of 32° to the horizontal that travels 89 yd before striking the ground. He then hits another ball from the same spot with the same speed, but at a different angle. This ball also travels 89 yd. At what angle was the second ball hit? (Neglect air resistance.)
