  • Kyle weighs 125 pounds and she is 72 inches tall.

The formula to find her Body Mass Index (BMI) is

[tex]BMI=\frac{weight}{(height)^{2} }\times 703[/tex]

Replacing given values, we have

[tex]BMI=\frac{125lb}{(72in)^{2} } \times 703\\ BMI=\frac{87875}{5184}= 16.95[/tex]

The Body Mass Index of Kyle is 16.95, almost 17.

If we compare with the given table, Kyle is not in the Underweight category. All this mean that Kyle is in possible risk of malnutrition, because here BMI is too low.
