Right triangle ABC has side lengths AB=8 , BC=15 , and AC=17 . A second right triangle, A′B′C′ , has side lengths of 34, 30, and 16. First, find the ratio of the side opposite ∠C to the hypotenuse of triangle ABC . Then, use this ratio to identify the side length opposite point C′ on the second right triangle.(1 point)
The length of the side opposite C′ is

In triangle ABC the hypotenuse is 17 and the side opposite ∠C is AB = 8, so the ratio is 8/17. For the second triangle the side opposite C′ is (8/17)·34 = 16.

The length is 16 units.
