The height is #=0.05m#

At the maximum height, the vertical component of the velocity is #=0#

The vertical component is #v=u_0sintheta#

#u_0=12ms^(-1)#

#theta=pi/12#

We use the equation

#v^2=u_0^2sin^2theta-2*g*h#

#0=u_0^2sin^2theta-2*g*h#

#h=(u_0^2sin^2(pi/12))/(2g)#

#=144*sin^2(pi/12)/(2*9.8)#

#=0.05m#
