Answer:

  (c)  3√3

Step-by-step explanation:

The altitude forms the long side of a 30°-60°-90° right triangle whose short side is 6/2 = 3 cm.

The ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle are ...

  1 : √3 : 2

Multiplying these ratio values by 3 gives the right triangle side lengths of ...

  3 : 3√3 : 6

where 6 is the side length of the equilateral triangle. The length 3√3 is the altitude of that equilateral triangle.

The height of the triangle is 3√3 cm.
