Answer: 9.708 cm

Explanation:

We will use sine as hypotenuse and angle is present and we need to find x
You have marked the sides wrong, the x side is opposite and the lower side is adjacent since the angle is opposite to x (facing x)

sin(theta) = opp/hyp

sin(54) = x/12

x = 12 * sin(54)

x = 9.708 cm
