Which leg is the "me" leg?
I assume you mean ONE of the legs that are not the hypotenuse.
The right triangle must have angles of 25, 65 and 90 degrees in this case.
You need to specify whether the 5 inch leg is the shortest or longest leg. The two legs can be either
5 and (5tan25= 2.33) or 5 and (5tan 65 = 10.72).
Those will lead to two greatly different hypotenuse lengths.
