Answer:

36 inches

Explanation:

Based on comments elsewhere, we assume the ideal ratio is 1/3 inch of tail length for each 1/2 inch of hind leg length.

__

The applicable proportion is ...

hind leg/tail = x / (24 in) = (1/2 in) / (1/3 in)

x = (24 in)(3/2) = 36 in

The ideal hind leg length for a 24-inch tail is 36 inches.
