A patient is participating in a lifestyle intervention program designed to reduce their risk of developing coronary heart disease (a non-communicable disease). The patient's height is 1.75 m. To enter the lower-risk category, their target Body Mass Index (BMI) is set to 24.0 kg/m2.
Body mass index (BMI) is calculated using the equation:
BMI=mass (kg)(height (m))2 \text{BMI} = \frac{\text{mass (kg)}}{(\text{height (m)})^2} BMI=(height (m))2mass (kg)Calculate the target mass, in kg, of the patient to achieve this BMI.
