Simplify the Rational Expression m2\mathrm { m } ^ { 2 }

Question 526

Multiple Choice

Simplify the rational expression. Use factoring, and assume all variable expressions represent positive real numbers.
-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,\mathrm { BSA } = \left( \frac { \mathrm { h } \cdot \mathrm { 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 v height 182 cm182 \mathrm {~cm} and weight 63 kg63 \mathrm {~kg} . Round your answer to two decimal places.


A) 10.14 m210.14 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
B) 0.03 m20.03 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
C) 3.19 m23.19 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
D) 1.78 m21.78 \mathrm {~m} ^ { 2 }
