Answer:
4. height: 5√3 cm; area: 25√3 cm²
5. 30√2 ft ≈ 42.43 ft
Explanation:
4. The height of an equilateral triangle is (√3)/2 times the side length, so is ...
height = (√3)/2 × (10 cm) = 5√3 cm
The area is given by the formula ...
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2(10 cm)(5√3 cm) = 25√3 cm²

5. The diagonal of a square is √2 times the side length, so the distance from 3rd to 1st base is ...
(30 ft)√2 ≈ 42.43 ft
__
The length of the diagonal of a square is something you should be familiar with. If you're not, you can figure the distance using the Pythagorean theorem.
d = √(30² +30²) = √1800 ≈ 42.43 . . . feet
