The measure of the acute angle that the wire makes with the ground is 63.27°.
The situation forms a right angle triangle.
<h3>How to find the angle of a right triangle?</h3>
The length of the wire is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.
The distance from the foot of the pole is the adjacent side of the right triangle.
Therefore,
cos ∅ = adjacent / hypotenuse
cos ∅ = 18 / 40
cos ∅ = 0.45
∅ = cos⁻¹ 0.45
∅ = 63.2563160496
∅ = 63.27°
