A hospital patient was tested for diabetes - Edexcel - GCSE Biology - Question 7 - 2021 - Paper 1

To calculate the Body Mass Index (BMI), you can use the formula:

$BMI = \frac{\text{mass in kg}}{(\text{height in metres})^2}$

In this case, the mass is 124 kg and the height is 1.8 m. Plugging these values into the formula gives:

$BMI = \frac{124}{(1.8)^2}$

First, calculate the square of the height:

$(1.8)^2 = 3.24$

Now, substitute this value back into the BMI formula:

$BMI = \frac{124}{3.24} \approx 38.64$

Therefore, the BMI of the patient is approximately 38.64.
