Oxygen atom in ether is sp3 hybridised, therefore C-O-C bond angle should be 109o28'. but it is slightly more than this i.e nearly 110o.
Reason: There are 2 lone pairs of electrons on O atom that must repel each other and should result in bond contraction. but presence of alkyl group on O atom counterbalance the repulsion of lone pair on O atom and bond pair and leads to bond angle greater than tetrahedral angle of 109o28'.
