Answer:

See the answer below

Step-by-step explanation:

The statements of the two students are the same, just that they used different units for the height.

100 centimeters is equivalent to 1 meter

65 centimeters would be equivalent to 65 x 1/100

= 0.65 meters

Hence, 0.65 meters and 65 centimeters are the same height but with different units.
