Chapter 7, Problem 7P

The body surface area (BSA) in m² of a person (used for determining dosage of medications) can be calculated by the formula (Mosteller formula):

$BSA=\sqrt{H\times W/3131}$

in which H is the person’s height in inches, and W is the persons weight in lb. Write a MATLAB user-defined function that calculates the body surf ace area. For the function name and arguments. use BSA=Body-SurA(w,h). The input arguments w and h are the weight and height, respectively. The output argument BSA is the BSA value. Use the function to calculate the body surface area of:

(a) A 170-lb. 5-ft 10-in, tall person.

(b) A 220-lb. 6-ft 5-in, tall person.
