Answer:

20√3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Altitude of an equilateral triangle splits it into 2 equal right triangles, it bisects the base and the angle opposite to the base.

<u>Let the altitude be x. Then as per Pythagorean theorem:</u>

  • x² = 40² - (40/2)²
  • x²= 1600 -400
  • x²= 1200
  • x= √1200
  • x= 20√3 cm

<u>Correct choice is</u> the second one
