The fraction 22/7 has a value of 3.142857, so it has the same first three digits as pi. Both 3.14 and 22/7 are approximations of pi. In fact, 22/7 is close to pi than 3.14 is. Pi is irrational. That is, the decimal expansion never ends and never repeats, so any number of decimal places we wrote out is an approximation. The approximation 3.14 is about 1/2 percent off from the true value, and the fairly well know 3.141559 is within 0.000084 percent.

pochemuha

Answer:

The median height of Sam and his brothers is 135.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's find the age of Sam's brothers:

$B_{1} = 140 cm - 5 cm = 135 cm$

$B_{2} = 140 cm - 7 cm = 133 cm$

The median height of Sam and his brothers is given by the middle number of the three values arranged from lowest to highest:

133 <u>135</u> 140

<em>Since the middle number is 135, then the median height is 135. </em>

Therefore, the median height of Sam and his brothers is 135.

I hope it helps you!
