Do you perhaps mean that one angle measures ninety degrees...? That another angle is given as measuring thirty-six degrees...? That the hypotenuse is given as having length twenty-three units...? That you are told to find the length of the shorter leg, which is opposite... one of the angles (but you haven't specified which)...?

Please reply with clarification. Thank you.
