Step-by-step explanation:
Use the Pythagorean Theorem.
base² + height² = hypotenuse²
6² + 8² = hypotenuse²
100 = hypotenuse²
hypotenuse = √100 = 10 meters
5.871 is greater than 5.781 because in the tenths place 8 is greater than 7. Also if you round the numbers to the nearest tenth, you get 5.9 versus 5.8
