It is unlikely that the cat will be saved as the firefighters will be able to reach only up to 33 mm from the ground.
A right angled triangle is a triangle with one of its angle as 90 degree and Pythagoras theorem can be applied to determine the sides of the triangle.
The ladder height = 35 m
The horizontal distance of the ladder = 12m
The height at which the cat is stuck is 39 m
By Pythagoras theorem , the height up to which the firefighters can reach can be determined
h = [tex]\rm \sqrt {35^2 - 12^2}[/tex]
h = 32.8 β 33 m
Therefore the height up to which the fire fighters can reach is 33m and the height at which the cat is stuck is at 39 m , the likelihood of the cat getting saved is not there.
