See a solution process below:

Explanation:

First, rewrite the expression as:

3 * 5 * sqrt(15) * sqrt(35) =>351535

15 * sqrt(15) * sqrt(35)151535

Next, use this rule for radicals to simplify the radicals:

sqrt(color(red)(a)) * sqrt(color(blue)(b)) = sqrt(color(red)(a) * color(blue)(b))ab=ab

15 * sqrt(color(red)(15)) * sqrt(color(blue)(35)) =>151535

15 * sqrt(color(red)(15) * color(blue)(35)) =>151535

15 * sqrt(525)15525

Then, rewrite the term under the radical as:

15 * sqrt(color(red)(25) * color(blue)(21)) =>152521

15 * sqrt(color(red)(25)) * sqrt(color(blue)(21)) =>152521

15 * 5 * sqrt(color(blue)(21)) =>15521

75sqrt(21)7521
