Answer:

23.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Body Mass Index is a simple calculation using a person's height and weight. The formula is BMI = kg/m² where kg is a person's weight in kilograms and m² is their height in meters squared.

Given: 250 pounds, 7 foot 2 inches tall, and 18 years of age

To find: Seth's BMI

Formula: BMI = kg/m²

Solution: Firstly, convert pound to kilograms

1lb = 0.45 kg

250 lb = 113.40 kg

Body Mass Index (BMI) = (weight (kg) / height (m2)

Solve: Your weight = 133.40 kg / Your height = 7.2 m (182cm) BMI Calculation: 133.40 ÷ 7.2 = 23.8
