To find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem, which states that in a right triangle, the square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the lengths of the other two sides.
In this case, the two sides are 12 and 16. So, the length of the hypotenuse is:
√(12^2 + 16^2)
= √(144 + 256)
= √400
= 20
Therefore, the length of the hypotenuse is 20 units. Answer: \boxed{20}.
