There’s a cat stuck in a 12-foot-tall tree near the Art Museum! Jae has a 13-foot ladder. How far should the ladder be from the tree to make sure that the cat can be saved?

5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

When we draw out our triangle, we should see that we have a right triangle and we need to solve for a leg:

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

12² + b² = 13²

144 + b² = 169

b² = 25

b = 5
