The Fish Pond


In the middle of a park there is a small, circular fish pond. One day a fish is dropped into the water. From the edge of the pond he happily swims 8 meters directly north and reaches a wall. He then turns due west and swims another 6 meters before again reaching a wall.

What is the diameter of the pond?
