Answer:

11.1 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

person = B  cat = C

                                          C

                                      /    |

                   /                       |     x

B /_48]________ ______|

              |____10ft____|

since we know the adjacent side but want the opposite side, we can use tan(angle)=opp/adj to solve.  (make sure to be in degrees lol)

tangent ( 48) = x/10

10 * tan(48) = x

11.1 = x

The cat is 11.1 feet high.
