Answer 1

`√(85)` > 8.9860...

Explanation:

Allow me to rewrite your question for a better understanding:

Select from the drop-down menu to correctly compare the numbers.
`√(85)` and 8.9860...

My answer:

`√(85)` =
`√(81 + 4)` >
`√(81)`

as we know that:
`√(81) = 9` > 8.9860...

So apparently,
`√(85)` > 8.9860...

Hope it will find you well.
