Answer

1.66 kg/m21.66 \text{ kg/m}^2

Step-by-step solution

5 steps

  1. Identify the formula for Body Mass Index (BMI).

    The formula for BMI is:

    BMI=weight in kg(height in m)2\text{BMI} = \frac{\text{weight in kg}}{\text{(height in m)}^2}

  2. Substitute the given values into the formula.

    Weight = 70 kg
    Height = 6.5 m

    BMI=70 kg(6.5 m)2\text{BMI} = \frac{70 \text{ kg}}{(6.5 \text{ m})^2}

  3. Calculate the square of the height.

    (6.5 m)2=6.5×6.5 m2=42.25 m2(6.5 \text{ m})^2 = 6.5 \times 6.5 \text{ m}^2 = 42.25 \text{ m}^2

  4. Divide the weight by the squared height.

    BMI=70 kg42.25 m2\text{BMI} = \frac{70 \text{ kg}}{42.25 \text{ m}^2} BMI≈1.657 kg/m2\text{BMI} \approx 1.657 \text{ kg/m}^2

  5. State the final answer.

    The BMI is approximately 1.66 kg/m².
