If you want to stick to your original method you need to add some command line arguments to tar to tell it that is is extracting a compressed file.

The binary is then available within the extracted directory.

Original command becomes:

RUN wget https://cmake.org/files/v3.12/cmake-3.12.3-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz  \
   && tar xzf cmake-3.12.3-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz  \
   && rm -rf cmake-3.12.3-Linux-x86_64.tar.gz  \
   && cd cmake-3.12.3-Linux-x86_64  \
   && ./bin/cmake --version


tar options:
x - Extract
z - Archive type is gzip (may be optional, depending on version of tar)
f - The file to extract (tar will try and open whatever follows this argument so it MUST come last in this case)

Hmm, are you cerctain apt-get is capable of installing from .tar.gz?

wget -O cmake-linux.sh
https://cmake.org/files/v3.12/cmake-3.12.3-Linux-x86_64.sh
sudo sh cmake-linux.sh -- --skip-license --prefix=/usr/local
cmake --version

I guess, it may be a good idea to update https://cmake.org/install/
