sin30 = ab/ac.
0.5 = ab/10.
So ab = 5.

Sin 30 = AB/AC,

Sin 30 = AB/10 (Because, AC = 10),

1/2 = AB/10 (Because sin 30 = 1/2),

10/2 = AB,

AB = 5 = h.

AC is 10 units, and If the 3 sides are the same, the angle should be 60 degrees each. AB is 5 units, which means the angle will be half of the equilateral triangle's angle. That's why Option C is correct.
