Question

Rahul is 5 ft 6 inches tall and he weighs 82 kilos. Calculate his BMI. ( hint: 5ft 6 inches= 1.676)​

Answer 1

Answer: 30 Overweight BMI

Step-by-step explanation:

BMI is a way of calculating a person's weight corresponding to his or her height.

BMI expresses how thick or thin a person actually is. It also allows doctors and other healthcare professionals to relatively measure weight objectively on a standardized scale.

BMI calculator converts units to satisfy the following BMI formula calculations.

Metric units: BMI = weight (kg) ÷ height2 (m)

US units: BMI = (weight (lb) ÷ height2 (in)) * 703

Given, Height = 5 ft 6 inches (5ft 6 inches= 1.676)​

           Weight = 82 kilos

Therefore, BMI = w ÷ h2

BMI = 84 ÷ (1.676 *1.676)

BMI = 84 ÷ 2.8

BMI = 30

Hope it helps!
