Question

The body surface area is ____ sq m. (Do not round until the final answer. Then round to two decimal places as needed.)

Answer 1

The given formula is expressed as

$B\text{ = }\sqrt[]{\frac{hw}{3131}}$

From the information given,

h = 76

w = 138

By substituting these values into the formula,

$\begin{gathered} B\text{ = }\sqrt[]{\frac{76\times138}{3131}} \\ B\text{ = }\sqrt[]{\frac{10488}{3131}} \\ B\text{ = }1.83023 \end{gathered}$

Rounding to two decimal places.

B = 1.83 sqm
