There are two 100-foot poles. A 150-foot rope connects them at the top. The bottom of the rope hangs to 25 feet from the ground. How far apart are the poles?

Huh? If the poles are 100 feet tall, then it takes 75 feet of rope to reach to within 25 feet of the ground. So, if the rope is 150 feet long, it just hangs 75 feet straight down and back up. The two poles are 0 feet apart.
