Answer 1

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   135   140                      

Since the middle number is 135, then the median height is 135.

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

I hope it helps you!
