Answer:

Explanation:

The angle opposite the 10 meter length is greater than 90. It calculates out to be about 130 degrees. The triangle is obtuse.

As a note that dog is going to be very uncomfortable. He does not have much room to move around. Let's hope he's something like a Chihuahua. The height of the triangle from the 130 degree angle's apex is about 2 meters.
