What are trigonometric ratios?  Trigonometric ratios are defined as the  ratio  of different sides of a  right angle triangle  with respect to one angle of the right angled triangle.    Length of the wire =  Hypotenuse  of the triangle =  X   Base  of the triangle = Distance from the bottom of the tower to the point where wire is attached on ground = 20 m    Angle  b/w Hypotenuse and Base of triangle = 46°    cos(θ) = Base / Hypotenuse  cos(46) = 20 / X  X = 20 / cos(46)   X = 28.79 m     Hence, the length of the wire is  28.79 m .
