The given equation (x^2 = 12y) represents a parabola that opens upwards. The length of the focal width (the distance between the two points on the parabola where it intersects a line parallel to the directrix) is equal to (4p), where (p) is the distance from the vertex to the focus. For this parabola, (4p = 12), so the focal width is (12). Therefore, (12) is the length of the focal width.
