Correct Answer: $\frac{15\sqrt 3}{2}\text{ cm}$
Solution :
Given: The side of the triangle is 15 cm.
Let the altitude be $x$ cm.
The length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle = $\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$ × side of the triangle.
⇒ $x = \frac{\sqrt3}{2}\times15$
⇒ $x = \frac{15\sqrt3}{2}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{15\sqrt3}{2}\text{ cm}$.
