Work Step by Step
Given:
$B=\sqrt {\dfrac{hw}{3131}}$ where $B$ is an individual's body surface in square meters, $h$ is the individual's height in inches, and $w$ is the individual's weight in pounds.
Individual is 66 inches tall and weighs 135 pounds. Find the body surface area.
Plug in given information into the formula and solve.
$B=\sqrt{\dfrac{(66)(135)}{3131}}$
$B=\sqrt{\dfrac{8910}{3131}}$
$B=1.686930996$
Round answer to two decimal places and add units.
The body surface area of the individual is $1.69$ square meters.
