Length of each leg can be calculated by using trigonometric ratios.
Height = 1.5
Angle between ground and the inclined leg(Hypt)= 60
Use sin 60 to find the hypt.
At the height for each step is 0.5 so 3 steps would be there of 0.5 m each

Use this number of steps being 3 to find the details of each step.
