Solving steps and answer!

Answer 1

Answer:

$h = 162.0\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$BSA = \frac{\sqrt{w*h}}{60}$

Required

Find h, when BSA = 1.5 and w = 50

We have:

$BSA = \frac{\sqrt{w*h}}{60}$

Substitute 1.5 for BSA and 50 for w

$1.5 = \frac{\sqrt{50*h}}{60}$

Multiply both sides by 60

$60*1.5 = \frac{\sqrt{50*h}}{60}*60$

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

$90 = \sqrt{50*h$

Square both sides

$90^2 = (\sqrt{50*h})^2$

$90^2 = 50*h$

$90^2 = 50h$

$8100 = 50h$

Divide both sides by 50

$\frac{8100}{50} = \frac{50h}{50}$

$\frac{8100}{50} = h$

$162 = h$

$h = 162$

$h = 162.0\ cm$

Hence, the patient's height is 162.0cm
