How do you find the length of the altitude to the base when an isosceles triangle has the base nagles of 30 degrees and base measures 12?

An isosceles triangle can be considered as two right angle triangles joined together so use the tangent ratio to find its altitude: tan30 degrees = opp/6 (where opp is the altitude and 6 is half the base) 6*tan30 degrees = 3.464101615 units of measurement
