Those usually mean the variable for the side length for a triangle.
Since he descended 12 meters, we subtract this from the overall height of Mount Ka'ala, so then we are only calculating how high ABOVE the sea level it is.
1232 - 12 = 1220
The height of Mount Ka'ala is therefore 1,220 meters.
To calculate how much a fifth of Mount Ka'ala is (since the ranger station is 2/5's up), we would divide this number by 5
1220 ÷ 5 = 244
Since ONE fifth of the height is 244 meters, TWO fifths would be double that amount.
244 x 2 = 488
488 meters.
The ranger station is 488m above sea level.
