The flippers of whale, wings of bat and forelimbs of cheetah are homologous organs. They share similarities in the pattern of bones of forelimbs. In these animals, the same structures (forelimbs) developed along different directions due to adaptations to different needs. This is divergent evolution and these structures are homologous. Homology indicates common ancestry.
