Looking at the factors above, the common ones are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36. But... considering we are looking for the "greatest" common factor, our highest number out of the listed ones is 36, making it the greatest common factor of 72 and 36.
Draw a triangle with shortest side on the ground (horiz.). The length of this side is 80 feet. Two angles touch the ground: a right angle, and the 70 degree angle.
Then the height of the building is the 2nd shortest side.
The tangent function is the appropriate one to use here: opp h tan 70 deg = -------- = ---------- adj 80 ft h Since tan 70 deg = 2.75, 2.75 = ------- 80 ft
