Imagine two high-voltage-masts/poles. (I don't know the proper english word for it). You know what I`m talking about; the ones with cables to transport electricity. (Birds would sit on them and stuff.)
The two poles are both 25 meters in height and a cable of length 18 meters is suspended between the tops of the two poles.
When the cable is hanging, the lowest part of the cable is 16 meters above the ground.
Find the distance between the two poles. (i.e. How far are the two poles apart?)
