The restriction of No Trigonometry doesn't seem right. I drew a neighboring isosceles triangle to form a parallelogram to help understand the values given and findable. Tough to show here, but free-hand I could draw the picture. Used cosine and sine, and half of length equivalent to half the base.

Altitude forms two angles at top of given triangle 15 degree each.
