Answer:

Slope = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = rise/over or change in x/change in y

To find the slope, use two points and the slope formula

Slope formula: (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

Points (any point): (20, 40) & (40, 70)

Step 1. Plug the two points into the formula (where the first point indicates the firsts x and y coordinates and the second point indicates the seconds x and y coordinates)

(70 - 40)/(40 - 20)

Step 2. Subtract

30/20

Step 3. Simplify

3/2

Y= mx+b, y=3/2+10
30/20=3/2

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>
