Rationalize the Denominator m2\mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }

Question 623

Multiple Choice

Rationalize the denominator. Assume that all variables represent nonnegative numbers and that the denominator is not
zero.
-When determining appropriate doses of medication, it is sometimes important to estimate the body surface area (BSA) of a patient. This surface area (in m2\mathrm { m } ^ { 2 } ) can be approximated using the Mosteller formula BSA =(hw3600) 1/2= \left( \frac { h \cdot w } { 3600 } \right) 1 / 2 where hh is the patient's height in centimeters and ww is the weight in kilograms. Determine the BSA for a patient with height 172 cm172 \mathrm {~cm} and weight 90 kg90 \mathrm {~kg} . Round your answer to two decimal places.


A) 4.30 m24.30 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
B) 18.49 m218.49 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
C) 0.03 m20.03 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
D) 2.07 m22.07 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
