What is the formula to calculate BMI (kg/m2)?

  1. wt (kg) / [ht (m)]^2

  2. wt (kg) * [ht (m)]^2

  3. wt (kg) + [ht (m)]^2

  4. wt (kg) - [ht (m)]^2

The correct answer is: wt (kg) / [ht (m)]^2

The formula for calculating BMI is a person's weight in kilograms divided by their height in meters squared. Option A is the only formula that follows this structure. Option B uses multiplication instead of division and options C and D use addition and subtraction, which are not part of the BMI formula. Therefore, A is the only correct formula for calculating BMI.
