Answer 1

The correct answer is option (b) square of height.

• Body mass index (BMI) is a number based on a person's weight (weight) and height. BMI is defined as the bodyweight divided by a square of body length, and expressed in units of kg / m2, resulting in kilograms and meters in height.
• BMI may be determined using a table [a] or a chart showing BMI as a function of weight and height using concrete lines or colors of different BMI categories, and which may use other units of measurement (converted to metric units for calculation)

Answer 2

For calculating Body Mass Index (BMI). The weight of the person is divided by the (b.) Square of the height

What is Body Mass Index (BMI)?

The term obesity means 30% of excess weight than height. Body Mass Index (BMI) is a measure that gives the ideal weight for a person by taking their height and weight into consideration.

How is BMI measured?

• The index BMI is a general measure.

• The weight of a person is divided by the square of the height of the person, to get BMI.

• The weight of the person is measured in kilograms and the height of the same person is measured in meters.

BMI =  Weight (Kg)  

            Height (M)²

Hence, the square of the height in M² is used to get BMI
