Extra credit if you know this equation:BMI = (Height in inches)(height in inches) ____________________________ X 703 Weight in pounds

BODY MASS INDEX

Not the most reliable method but one method to tell if someone is overweight or obese. Take’s one’s height and weight. WHY MIGHT THIS NOT BE VERY ACCURATE SOMETIMES???

The most reliable is HYDROSTATIC WEIGHING

For your HOMEWORK: find your BMI by googling BMI calculator and putting in height and weight.
