Check the picture below.


\begin{array}{llll} \textit{using the pythagorean theorem} \\\\ c^2=a^2+o^2\implies c=√(a^2 + o^2) \end{array} \qquad \begin{cases} c=\stackrel{hypotenuse}{h}\\ a=\stackrel{adjacent}{24}\\ o=\stackrel{opposite}{12} \end{cases} \\\\\\ h=√( 24^2 + 12^2)\implies h=√( 576 + 144 ) \implies h=√( 720 )\implies h=12√(5)
