Two simple questions. Party was in a narrow corridor and turned a corner, found a pressure plate trap. Without the tools to disable it, they decide to jump it. They can't see exactly how big the trap is in the square, but know it isn't more than the 5ft square.
Is this only a 5ft jump (edge to edge over the trapped square), 10ft jump (what it would be for normal movement)?
Also the acrobatics says that anyone with a higher base land speed gets a +4 per 10ft above 30. If the party has haste, can they use that to get a bonus to their acrobatics check?

If the pit is 5 feet wide then they have to jump 5 feet (DC:5 Acrobatics check). They would likely have to move 10 feet, but only 5 feet of it is needed for the jump.
Yes Haste would gove them a bonus to their acrobatics check, likely a +12 (which probably means they automatically pass).
Also remember that if they don't have a 10 foot run-up their check is halved.
We have a FAQ for this one.
Some classes have features that let you count as if you had a running start.
If you are not currently in combat, you can probably take-10. If you have a 0 or better score (after armor check), you can do it easy.
Another option: summon a monster on top of the trap to set it off. Better yet: go back to the last corpse you made and toss that onto it.
