I need to calculate a lions mass and all i know is the height and mass!
To calculate mass using height and weight, you can use the formula: mass = weight/ (height)^2. This formula is known as the Body Mass Index (BMI) formula and is commonly used in the scientific community to estimate a person's body mass.
Yes, you can use any unit for height and weight as long as they are consistent. For example, if you use meters for height, you should use kilograms for weight. If you use inches for height, you should use pounds for weight.
The mass calculation formula is a general estimate and may not be accurate for all body types. It is most accurate for individuals with a normal BMI range (18.5-24.9). It may not be accurate for individuals with a significantly higher or lower muscle mass or body fat percentage.
The result of the mass calculation formula gives you an estimate of your body mass in relation to your height. A BMI below 18.5 is considered underweight, a BMI between 18.5-24.9 is considered normal, a BMI between 25-29.9 is considered overweight, and a BMI over 30 is considered obese.
The mass calculation formula is not recommended for children as their body composition and growth patterns are different from adults. It is best to consult with a pediatrician for accurate measurements and interpretation for children's mass calculation.
