We have a triangle, when:
hypotenuse=slant height=20 ft
opposite side=height of the tree=?
angle formed by the tree with the ground=72º


sin Ф=opposite/ hypotenuse    ⇒ opposite=(hypotenuse)(sin Ф)

In this case:
oppssite=20 ft /sin 72º=19.021...≈19

Answer: the heigth of the tree is 19 ft.

What is the Greatest Common Factor of the two monomials?<br> 15a²b, 35ab2
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

5ab

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the greatest common factor (GCF), you will need to find the largest value that both of these monomials can be divided by. There are three different parts to these monomials: the number value, variable a, and variable b.

Find the largest number of each element that can be divided by both.

Numbers: the GCF of 15 and 35 is 5 (15/5 = 3, 35/5 = 7, 3 and 7 are prime numbers and therefore, cannot be divided further)

Variable a: the GCF of a² and a is a

Variable b: the GCF of b and b² is b

Therefore, the GCF is 5ab.
