Answer:
- angles: 31.42°, 31.42°, 117.16°
- legs: 23.79 m
Step-by-step explanation:
The base angles can be found from the definition of the tangent function:
tan(base angle) = height/(half-base length)
base angle = arctan(12.4/20.3) ≈ 31.418°
Then the apex angle is double the complement of this:
apex angle = 2(90° -31.418°) ≈ 117.164°
The base angles are 31.42°, and the apex angle is 117.16°.

The leg lengths can be computed from the Pythagorean theorem applied to the altitude and the half-base length.
leg length = √(12.4² +20.3²) = √565.85 ≈ 23.789 . . . . meters
The length of the legs is about 23.79 m.
Since LM = AM, point M must be on the perpendicular bisector of AL. Since AM = BM, BL must be perpendicular to AL. This makes ∆ALC a right triangle with hypotenuse AC twice the length of side AL. Hence ∠LAC = ∠LAB = 60°, and AL is angle bisector, median, and altitude.
ΔABC is isosceles with ∠A = 120°, and ∠B = ∠C = 30°.
