Answer:

95

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of the opposite side be x.

We're told that the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse is 19/20, so if the length of the hypotenuse is 100, let's go ahead and find x as follows;


\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}\colon(19)/(20)=(x)/(100)

Let's cross-multiply;


\begin{gathered} 20x=1900 \\ x=(1900)/(20) \\ \therefore x=95 \end{gathered}
