using a formula estimate the body surface area of a person whose height is 5 feet and who weighs 120 pounds.
a.
1.52 m2
b.
0.32 m2
c.
1.13 m2
d.
55.9 m2

(A)  1.52 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

As per the given data of the question,

Height of a person = 5 feet

As we know that 1 feet = 30.48 cm

∴ Height = 152.4 cm

Weight of a person = 120 pounds

And we know that 1 pound = 0.453592 kg

∴ Weight = 54.4311 kg

The Mosteller formula to calculate body surface area (BSA):

Therefore,

Hence, the body surface area of a person =  1.52 m²

Therefore, option (A) is the correct option.
