you could say 45 inches minus 24 inches to get 21 inches. this means the rockhopper is 21 inches tall. this is reasonable because you have the measurement of the emperor penguin and you know exactly how much shorter the rockhopper penguin is than the emperor. if you have any questions, ask me in the comment section
