If it looks like this:

A -------------------- B
| |
| |
| |
C -------------------- D

Then BC is the hypotenuse of a right triangle with sides 16 and 30. Using the Pythagorean Theorem you can solve for the length of the hypotenuse:

$h^2 = 16^2 + 30^$
$h= \sqrt{256+900}$
$h =34$

Congruent distance is a term used for distance with equal measurements. EA and EB are congruent; FA and FB are also congruent

I've added as an attachment, the image of the complete question.

From the attached image of the circles, we have the following observations

Points A and B are at the centers of both circles
Point E is at the exact point of intersection of both circles
Point F is also at the exact point of intersection of both circles (opposite point E).

These observations mean that:

The distance from A to E and B to E are the equal (congruent)
The distance from A to F and B to F are the equal (congruent)

Hence,

Distance EA and distance EB are congruent;
Distance FA and distance FB are congruent;
