Question

If Body Surface Area, BSA, of a person is measured by the expression $BSA=\sqrt{\frac{wh}{3,600}}$, where $w$ is person's weight (in kg), $h$ is person's height (in cm), and BSA is measured in square meters, then the height of the person (in cm.), who weighs $150kg$ and has a BSA of $2\sqrt{2}{m}^2$, is

Answer 1

$BA=\sqrt{\frac{wh}{3600}}$ ...Given

$w=150$ kg and $BSA=2\sqrt{2}c{m}^2$ ...Given

$2\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{\frac{150\times h}{3600}}$

$h=\frac{8\times 3600}{150}$

$h=192$ cm.
