ANSWER

The length of the altitude is 3\sqrt{3} units


<u>EXPLANATION</u>

The altitude of a triangle is the vertical height of the triangle.


From the diagram the altitude is a


Method 1: We can use Pythagoras theorem to find a


6^2=a^2+3^2


6^2-3^2=a^2


36-9=a^2


27=a^2


We take the square root of both sides,

\sqrt{27}=a


\sqrt{9\times3}=a


\sqrt{9} \times \sqrt{3}=a


3\sqrt{3}=a


Method 2 Using Trigonometry

sin(60\degree)=\frac{a}{6}

6sin(60\degree)=a


a=6\times \frac{\sqrt{3}} {2}


a=3\sqrt{3}
