Answer: 6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, a base angle of isosceles triangle is 30°.We are also informed that one of the legs is 12. The altitude is opposite to the angle having a measure of 30°. The hypoteneous in the right angled triangle which is formed by drawing the altitude is 12. This will be calculated as:

Sin = opposite/hypotenuse

Sin 30°=length of the altitude/12

Note that sin 30° = 0.5

0.5 = length of the altitude/12

length of the altitude = 12 × 0.5

Hence, length of altitude = 6
