Given a right triangle with a leg measuring m and the angle opposite this leg being θ, you can use trigonometric functions to find the length of m. Here are two different equations using sine and cosine:Using the sine function: sin(θ) = (opposite side) / hypotenuse sin(θ) = m / N m = N * sin(θ)Using the cosine function: cos(θ) = (adjacent side) / hypotenuse cos(θ) = m / N m = N * cos(θ)In these equations, N represents the length of the hypotenuse, and θ is the angle opposite the side m.For example, if you have a right triangle with a hypotenuse of length 13 cm and an angle θ of 52°, you can find the length of side m using either equation:m = 13 * sin(52°) m = 13 * cos(38°) (since 38° is the angle adjacent to side m)Both equations will give you the same result, which is the length of side m.
