speed = 1.6 m/s

need to know how many steps/s

then we can calculate how long each step is

with the angle between the 2 legs known

then we can calculate the length of legs.

There's not enough information in the question to calculate the answer.

Knowing the child's walking speed, we would need to know how often s/he takes a step in order to calculate the length of their legs.
