Body mass index, or BMI, is used by physicians to assess a person's level of fatness. BMI varies directly as an individual's weight in pounds and inversely as the square of the individual's height in inches. A person who weighs 163 lb and is 71 in. tall has a BMI of 22.73. (BMI is usually rounded to the nearest whole number.) Use the formula B = kw to find the Body Mass Index of a man with the given weight and height. 2 h weight: 165 pounds height: 68 inches
