Answer:

1.41421356237

Explanation:

After every decimal place value, or decimal point, there are infinite rows of invisible 0's

In 1.4, there are countless invisible 0's, which would look like this

1.40000000000000000...

Same for 1.41421356237

1.4142135623700000000...

So now, you can compare and see that 1.41421356237 has a 1 in the hundredths place, while 1.4 has a 0 in the hundredths place

Thus, 1.41421356237 is greater than 1.4
