Calculate Hypotenuse in Right Triangle

Medium Additional Topics In Math Trigonometry

Consider a right triangle where one angle measures $30^{ ext{o}}$ and the length of the side opposite this angle is 5 units. You are to find the length of the hypotenuse of the triangle. Remember to use the sine function for this calculation. The sine of an angle in a right triangle is given by the ratio of the length of the side opposite the angle to the length of the hypotenuse, expressed as:

$$ ext{sine}( heta) = rac{ ext{opposite}}{ ext{hypotenuse}}$$

Given this information, calculate the length of the hypotenuse.
