2) If the given measures are length of the hypotenuse and a measure of an

acute angle in a right triangle, and the unknown is a length of a leg, what

trigonometric function are you going to use?​

Given measure are length of the hypotenuse and measure of an acute angle in a right triangle

Unknown is a length of a leg

Let Unknown leg = x

So ,


\sin(θ) = (Opp)/(hур)


\sin(θ) = (Leg)/(hyp)


Leg = \sin(θ)* hyp

Hence, answer is sin.
