Question On the unit circle, a right triangle with an angle measure of θ has a leg opposite of θ with a length of 12 what is the length of the other leg? Use the Pythagorean Theorem.(1 point)

1. 2
2. 1/2
3. √3/2
4. 3

Answer 1

Using the Pythagorean Theorem, we can find the length of the other leg as follows:

Let the length of the other leg be x. Then, according to the Pythagorean Theorem, we have:

x^2 + 12^2 = 1^2

Simplifying the equation, we get:

x^2 + 144 = 1

x^2 = 1 - 144

x^2 = -143

Since the length cannot be negative, this means that there is no real solution for x. Therefore, the length of the other leg cannot be determined and the answer is not given in the answer choices.
