Question

The Haycock formula for approximating the surface area S, in square meters (m”), of a human is given by the formula below, where h is the person's height incentimeters and wis the person's weight in kilograms.S(h.w) = 0.02426510.3964 0.5378Use the Haycock approximation to estimate the surface area of a person whose height is 154 cm and whose weight is 70 kg.esficofpul(Round to three decimal places as needed.)m

Answer 1

Given:

Height = 154 cm

Weight = 70 kg

Required:

Surface area S using Haycock formula

Step-by-step explanation:

Haycock Formula: BSA= 0.024265 x height (cm)0.3964 x weight (kg)0.5378

`BSA=0.024265* height^(0.3964)* weight^(0.5378)`

where height is in cm and weight is in kg

So,

`\begin{gathered} BSA=0.024265*154^(0.3964)*70^(0.5378) \\ =1.755525876\text{ m}^2 \end{gathered}`

Surface area = 1.755525876 meter square

Body Surface Area = 1.756 meter square (Rounded to three decimal place)

Final Answer:

Body Surface Area = 1.755525876 meter square

Body Surface Area = 1.756 meter square (Rounded to three decimal place)
