Answer:

X=20Tan(25)

Step-by-step explanation:

So because the cat is looking at the tree it is a strait line making a right triangle with the tree. The cat spots the bird 25 degrees up in the tree making a triangle. Then use SohCahToa, and because u have the adjacent side use Tangent because you are missing the opposite side of the angle. There are a few other ways to find it but that is the simplest way to perform this, GOOD LUCK!
