Angle $hat A = 48^@, hat B = 35^@, hat C = 97^@$

Side $a = 12, b = 9.26, c = 16.03$ units

Perimeter $P = 37.29$ Units

Area $A_t = 55.15$ sq units

$a = 12, hatA = 48^@, hat C = 97^@$

$hat B = 180 - 48 - 97 = 35^@$

enter image source here

$12 / sin 48^@ = b / sin 35^@ = c / sin 97^@$

$b = (12 * sin 35) / sin 48 ~~ 9.26$

$c = (12 * sin 97) / sin 48 ~~ 16.03$

Perimeter of the triangle $P = 12 + 9.26 + 16.03 = 37.29$ units

Area of the triangle $A_t = (1/2) * a * b * sin C = (1/2) * 12 * 9.26 * sin 97 = 55.15$ sq units
