Answer:

56.7°

Explanation:

Imagine a rectangle triangle.

The triangle has 3 sides.

One side is the height of the tower, let's name it A.

Another side is the distance from the base of the tower to the point where the waire touches the ground. Let's name that B.

Sides A and B are perpendicular.

The other side is the length of the wire. Let's name it C.

From trigonometry we know that:

cos(a) = B / C

Where a is the angle between B anc C, between the wire and the ground.

Therefore

a = arccos(B/C)

a = arccos(552/1005) = 56.7°
