    We neither have weapons, nor are we crazy enough...

    is the correct construction and changes your sentence less.

    If the NEITHER precedes the verb (have) then you can have a different verb following the NOR.

    If the neither follows the verb (have) then the nor has to be followed by something you "have" not something you "are".

    Maybe.. "We have neither weapons, nor the amount of insanity as required to threaten others."

    And sorry I can't help you with the other one, I don't know what firebrand is.

    What shapes do you get when you split the square with a diagonal? Two trangles. Since we know the field is a square, that means all the sides are equal (therefore, if you know one side, you know all the sides). So now you have a trangle with two sides equal to 60 feet. You can now use Pythagorean's theorem: A (squared) + B(squared) = C (squared) A and B are your two sides and then you just solve for C. Good luck!
