I'm sorry, but I don't understand your question. You have a right triangle, I think. And one of the legs (or maybe the hypotenuse?) has a length of one inch.
What else do you know about the triangle, and what are you supposed to do with it?
Please reply with the full text of the exercise, the complete instructions, and a detailed description of any associated graphic. Thank you.

Trig Question
Yes the bottom leg is 1 inch and a little way up the hypotenuse there is a point that my teacher wants to know in inches what the measurement is
the angle of the hypotenuse is 15 degreese that is all that I have..
Thanks for replying my class is tonight so if you can't get this in time that is ok I will wing it

Single lines cannot form angles, so I don't know what you mean by "the angle of the hypotenuse".
Please clarify what you are looking at. Let's start by labelling. There are two legs and an hypotenuse. Name them with lower-case letters, and say what they are ("the hypotenuse is [insert letter], the base is [insert letter], and...). Common usage is then to name the angles opposite the sides with corresponding upper-case letter, so the angle opposite "a" would be called "A". Then state which named side has length 1, which side had "a point" "a little way up" (and from which named angle is it "a little way up" along that named side), and which angle has a measure of fifteen degrees.
Thank you.
