  Body Mass Index (BMI):
(1) Height = 5 feet 6 inch, weight 82.5 kg

Weight: 82.5 KG

Height: 5 Feet 6 Inch

5 Feet 6 Inch (60+6= 66)
Multiply the length value by 2.54
=66 X 2.54= 167.64 cm
Divide the length value by 100
=167.64/100
= 1.67 meter

Formula:
BMI = Weight (KG) / Height (M) 2
2
BMI = 82.5 kg/1.67 Meter
BMI = 29.58 (Overweight)

 Body Mass Index (BMI):

(2) Height = 162cm, weight 190 lbs

Weight: 190 lbs

Divide the mass value by 2.205

=190/2.205
=86.17 KG

Height: 162cm
Divide the length value by 100
= 162/100
= 1.62 meter

Formula:
BMI = Weight (KG) / Height (M) 2
2
BMI = 86.17 kg/1.62 Meter
BMI = 32.83 (Moderately obese)

 Body Mass Index (BMI):

(3) Height = 68 inches, weight 56 Kg
Weight: 56 KG

Height: 68 Inches
Multiply the length value by 2.54
=68 X 2.54
=172.72 cm
Divide the length value by 100
=172.72/100
=1.72 meter
