Solution

Step 1: Convert height to meters 5 feet 2 inches is approximately 1.57 meters.

Step 2: Calculate BMI The formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. So, BMI = 100 kg / (1.57 m)^2

Step 3: Calculate BMI = 100 kg / (2.4649 m^2) = 40.54 (rounded to two decimal places)

Step 4: Classify BMI According to the World Health Organization (WHO), a BMI of 40.54 is classified as Class III obesity (severe obesity).
