Question

Calculate the BMI of a male person whose body weight is 74 kgs and his height is 1.84 metres.​

Answer 1

Given:

• Height = 1.84m
• Weight = 74 kg

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Need to find:

• BMI =?

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Solution:

→BMI= $\dfrac{weight \: in \: kg}{height \: in \: m}$

→BMI = $\dfrac{74}{ {1.84}^{2} }$

→BMI $= \dfrac{74}{3.3856}$

→BMI $= 21.857$

$\red{\boxed{\bold{\rightarrow BMI\approx \: 21.86}}}$

As the BMI is between 18.5- 25, we can say that the person has normal weight.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is a person’s weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. It is universally expressed in units of kg/m².

• If BMI is less than 18.5, it falls within the underweight range.

• If BMI is 18.5 to less than 25, it falls within the normal.

• If BMI is 25 to less than 30, it falls within the overweight range.

• If BMI is 30 or higher, it falls within the obese range.
