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[]{(hw)/(3131)}`

From the information given,

h = 76

w = 138

By substituting these values into the formula,

`\begin{gathered} B\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(76*138)/(3131)} \\ B\text{ = }\sqrt[]{(10488)/(3131)} \\ B\text{ = }1.83023 \end{gathered}`

Rounding to two decimal places.

B = 1.83 sqm
