It depends on what other information you have.
If you have the lengths of both the other sides, use Pythagoras.
If you have one side and one of the acute angles, use the sine (or cosine) ratio.
There are other methods when other bits of information are available.

How do you determine the length of the 3rd leg in a right triangle if you have the length of the other two legs?
A right triangle only has two legs, the third side is called the hypotenuse . The square of the length of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the two legs. The square root of the difference of the square of the hypotenuse and the square of one leg is equal to the length of the other leg.
Is it true the sine ratio relates the length of the leg the angle that is in question to the length of the hypotenuse?
Yes... opposite an angle of a right triangle to the length of the triangle's hypotenuse.

The length of the hypotenuse is: 10
What is the perimeter of a triangle that is attached to a hypotenuse?
That depends entirely on the LENGTH of the hypotenuse !
