A right triangle has a hypotenuse of length 18 and an angle of 35°, with a side opposite this angle of length 4. A second right triangle also has an angle of 35°, with a hypotenuse of length 9. Determine the length of the side opposite the 35° angle on the second triangle.(1 point)

Triangles with the same acute angle are similar, so corresponding sides scale with the hypotenuse. The scale factor is 9/18 = 1/2, so the opposite side is 4 × 1/2 = 2.
