The length of the other leg can be found using the Pythagorean Theorem.

Let the length of the other leg be x.

According to the Pythagorean Theorem, we have:

x^2 + 12^2 = 1^2

x^2 + 144 = 1

x^2 = 1 - 144

x^2 = -143

There is no real number solution to this equation, so the length of the other leg is not a real number.
