Answer: 5.6 cm

===========================================================

Work Shown:

Apply the cosine ratio to find the adjacent side AB

cos(angle) = adjacent/hypotenuse

cos(B) = AB/BC

cos(62) = AB/12

12*cos(62) = AB

AB = 12*cos(62)

AB = 5.6336587534307

AB = 5.6 cm

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.
