Answer:

  4. height: 5√3 cm; area: 25√3 cm²

  5. 30√2 ft ≈ 42.43 ft

Step-by-step 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
