The formula to calculate the bathing suit size is:
\[ \text{BS} = \frac{C \times H}{W} \]
Where:
A bathing suit size refers to the measurement or dimensions of a swimsuit that corresponds to the body size and shape of the person who will wear it. It is typically determined by several factors including bust, waist, and hip measurements, and sometimes also includes considerations for torso length. Bathing suit sizes can vary greatly between different brands and countries, and they may be expressed in different ways, such as numerical sizes (e.g., 6, 8, 10), alpha sizes (e.g., S, M, L), or specific measurements (e.g., 34B, 36C). It’s important to note that a person’s regular clothing size may not necessarily be the same as their bathing suit size due to differences in fit and material stretch. Therefore, it’s often recommended to refer to a brand’s specific size chart when purchasing a new bathing suit.
Let's assume the following measurements:
Step 1: Multiply the chest measurement by the hip measurement:
\[ 36 \times 40 = 1440 \]
Step 2: Divide the result by the waist measurement:
\[ \frac{1440}{30} = 48 \]
The Bathing Suit Size (BS) is 48.
