Right Triangle and Trigonometry:
If we intend to achieve the hypotenuse of the right triangle, we must remember that its angles and sides are bound together by trigonometric functions. Therefore, if we have the information of an angle and the opposite side, we can use the sine function to obtain the hypotenuse, since this function is correlated with the opposite side and the hypotenuse.
