Body mass index

Compute for BMI, then classify:

Nrweight height
135 kg 1.25 m
240 kg 1.40 m
350 kg1.75 m
455 kg1.65 m
563 kg1.23 m


Correct answer:

BMI1 =  22.4 kg/m2
BMI2 =  20.4082 kg/m2
BMI3 =  16.3265 kg/m2
BMI4 =  20.202 kg/m2
BMI5 =  41.6419 kg/m2

Step-by-step explanation:

m1=35 kg h1=1.25 m  BMI1=m1/h12=35/1.252=5112=22.4=22.4 kg/m2  1=normal
m2=40 kg h2=1.4 m  BMI2=m2/h22=40/1.42=49100020.4082 kg/m2  2=normal
m3=50 kg h3=1.75 m  BMI3=m3/h32=50/1.752=4980016.3265 kg/m2  3Underweight
m4=55 kg h4=1.65 m  BMI4=m4/h42=55/1.652=99200020.202 kg/m2  4normal

The BMI (Body Mass Index) is a measure used to assess whether a person's weight is healthy relative to their height. It is calculated by dividing a person's weight (in kilograms) by the square of their height (in meters).

BMI Formula:


BMI = Weight (kg)Height (m)2

Interpretation of BMI Results:


- Below 18.5: Underweight
- 18.5–24.9: Normal weight
- 25.0–29.9: Overweight
- 30.0 and above: Obese

Limitations of BMI:


While BMI is a useful tool for quickly assessing weight status, it does not account for factors like muscle mass, bone density, or fat distribution. For example:
- Athletes with high muscle mass may have a high BMI but not be overweight.
- Older adults may have a normal BMI but still have excess body fat.

For a more accurate assessment of health, it’s best to combine BMI with other measurements (e.g., waist circumference, body fat percentage) and consult a healthcare professional.
