A triangle is a polygon with three sides and three angles. Types of triangles are isosceles, scalene, equilateral, acute, obtuse and right angled triangle. A right angle triangle is a triangle with one angle being 90°.

Trigonometric ratios is used to show the relationship between the angles and sides of a right angled triangle. Examples are:

sinΘ = opposite/hypotenuse; cosΘ = adjacent/hypotenuse; tanΘ = opposite/adjacent

From the question:

cos(62) = AB/12

AB = 12 * cos(62)

AB = 5.6 cm
