Use the pythagorean theorem A² + B² = C²

A and B are legs and C is the hypotenuse 

so-    A² + 12² = 24²      A² + 144 = 576  
                                           -144     -144

                                   A² = 432          then you have to take the square root 
                                                           of each side 

so-      A = √432    or aprox. 20.78
