To find:

what trigonometric function are you going to use if the length of the hypotenuse and a measure of an acute angle in a right triangle, and the unknown is the length of the leg.

Solution:

If the hypotenuse and an acute angle is given, then we can use two trigonometric functions, sine and cosine of the angle to find the unknown.

Thus, the answer is sine and cosine functions.
