Question

Body Mass Index (BMI) is given by the formula BMI=705W/H2 , where W is the weight of a person in pounds, and H is their height, measured in inches. If a person is 6 feet 3 inches tall, and weighs 209 pounds, what is their BMI? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

BMI = 26.1

Explanation:

The body mass index is given by the below formula as :

`BMI=(705* W)/(H^2)`

Here,

W is the weight of a person in pounds and H is height measured in inches.

If height of a person is 6 feet 3 inches, it means its height is 75 inches. Its weight is 209 pound.

So, plugging all values we get ,

`BMI=(705* 209)/((75)^2)\\\\BMI=26.1`

So, the body mass index is 26.1.
