1. **Problem:** Find the value of side AB in a right triangle with vertices A, B, C, where angle B is 90°, AC = 12, and angle C = 62°.
2. **Formula:** Use the sine function in a right triangle: $$\sin(\theta) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}$$
3. **Identify sides:** Here, AB is opposite angle C, AC is the hypotenuse.
4. **Apply formula:** $$\sin(62^\circ) = \frac{AB}{12}$$
5. **Solve for AB:** $$AB = 12 \times \sin(62^\circ)$$
6. **Calculate:** Using a calculator, $$\sin(62^\circ) \approx 0.8829$$
7. **Final value:** $$AB = 12 \times 0.8829 = 10.5948$$
8. **Round:** To the nearest tenth, $$AB \approx 10.6$$
**Answer:** The length of AB is approximately 10.6.
