For this case what you have is the same as a rectangle triangle where you have as data the degree of inclination of the hypotenuse with respect to the base and the height of the triangle.
 We have to find the value of the hypotenuse.
 For this we use the following trigonometric relationship:
 senx = C.O / h
 Where
 x: angle
 C.O: opposite leg
 h: hypotenuse.
 Substituting the values we have:
 sen (12) = 100 / h
 We cleared h:
 h = 100 / sin (12)
 h = 480.97 m
 Answer: 
 Galileo should walk 480.97 m up the inclined plane
