This is a right triangle with a hypotenuse of \( \sqrt{5} \), a leg labeled \( 1 \) (opposite to the right angle), and another leg labeled \( s \). The angle \( \theta \) is shown at the acute angle opposite to side \( s \).

To solve for the unknowns or apply trigonometric relationships, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem or trigonometric functions. First, the Pythagorean Theorem gives us a way to relate the sides:

\[
\text{Hypotenuse}^2 = \text{Leg 1}^2 + \text{Leg 2}^2
\]

Substituting the known values:

\[
(\sqrt{5})^2 = 1^2 + s^2
\]

\[
5 = 1 + s^2
\]

\[
s^2 = 4
\]

\[
s = 2
\]

So, the length of side \( s \) is 2.

If you want to calculate the trigonometric values of angle \( \theta \), here’s how we can proceed:
- \( \sin \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{2}{\sqrt{5}} \)
- \( \cos \theta = \frac{\text{adjacent}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \)
- \( \tan \theta = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{2}{1} = 2 \)
