Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The one thing that changes in the problem is the milk. It goes from 8 oz. to 12 oz., so we are going to use the oz count to determine the amount of espresso. Since the amount of milk rose, so is the amount of espresso. Now, you take the larger number and divide it by the smaller number (12 / 8 = 1.5). This answer will tell you by what multiple it increased by. Once you have the multiple it increased by, you multiply that answer (1.5) by the other unknown changing number, so 1.5 x 1.5. Do this and you get 2.5.

An equilateral triangle has an apothem of 5 cm. Find the perimeter of the triangle to the nearest centimeter.
san4es73 [151]
The apothem is the distance from the center to the midpoint of one of the sides of a regular polygon.  You can make a right triangle with the apothem, the line from the midpoint to the corner and the line from the center to the corner.  An equilateral triangle has 60 degree angles (180/3).  The right triangle has half of one of those angles so 30 degrees.  Now we have a 30-60-90 triangle where the short leg is 5cm.  The long leg, which is also half of one side of the triangle is thus 5\sqrt{3}.  A whole side of the triangle is 10\sqrt{3}.  Multiply that by 3 to get the perimeter of <span>30\sqrt{3}.</span>
