Question 1020379: Use a model for body surface area, BSA, such that BSA =sq root of wh/3600
,
where w = weight in kg and h = height in cm.

Find the weight of a 175-cm male to the nearest kg whose
BSA = 2.4.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
sqrt%28WH%29%2F3600=2.4
sqrt%28175w%29=8640
175w=74649600
w=426569kg
That seems big.
