Solving steps and answer!

Answer 1

`h = 162.0\ cm`

Explanation:

Given

`BSA = (√(w*h))/(60)`

Required

Find h, when BSA = 1.5 and w = 50

We have:

`BSA = (√(w*h))/(60)`

Substitute 1.5 for BSA and 50 for w

`1.5 = (√(50*h))/(60)`

Multiply both sides by 60

`60*1.5 = (√(50*h))/(60)*60`

`60*1.5 = \sqrt{50*h`

`90 = \sqrt{50*h`

Square both sides

`90^2 = (√(50*h))^2`

`90^2 = 50*h`

`90^2 = 50h`

`8100 = 50h`

Divide both sides by 50

`(8100)/(50) = (50h)/(50)`

`(8100)/(50) = h`

`162 = h`

`h = 162`

`h = 162.0\ cm`

Hence, the patient's height is 162.0cm
