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.
