Answer:
BMI = 31.18 kg/m²
According to BMI, this patient is diagnosed as Obese.
Explanation:
BMI known as body mass index is taken from a person height and weight. BMI is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. BMI is usually expressed in kg/m².
Mathematically ,
BMI = weight(kg)/height(m²)
we have to convert the weight and the height to the required units.
converting pounds to kg
2.2 pounds = 1 kilogram
210 pounds = ?
cross multiply
210/2.2 = 95.50 kilograms
converting foot to inches and to meter.
1 foot = 12 inches
5 foot = ?
12 × 5 = 60 inches
60 inches + 9 inches = 69 inches
1 inches = 0.0254 meters
69 inches = ?
69 × 0.0254 = 1.7526 meters
using the formula
BMI = weight(kg)/height(m²)
BMI = 95.50/(1.75)²
BMI = 95.50/3.0625 kg/m²
BMI = 31.1836734694 kg/m²
BMI = 31.18 kg/m²
