Correct Answer: $12 \sqrt{3} \mathrm{~cm}$
Solution :
Given: AB = 12 cm
AC is the hypotenuse of the triangle.
We have to find tan of $\angle CAB = \tan 60° = \frac{\text{BC}}{\text{AB}}$
$⇒\sqrt{3} = \frac{\text{BC}}{12}$
$\therefore\text{BC} = 12\sqrt{3}\mathrm{~cm}$
Hence, the correct answer is $12\sqrt{3}\mathrm{~cm}$.
