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>
