The body mass index B of a person of mass m kg and height h meters is given by the formula B(m,h)=m/h^(2).One child increased his previous height of 1.2 meters by 3 centimeters, and his mass increased from 29 kg to 32 kg. Use the differential to estimate how much the child's body mass index has changed.
We classify the height into three categories: short (below 165 cm), medium (165-175 cm) and tall (more than 175 cm).
My height in cm 154.94 cm
