Answer:
B. [tex]1.83\text{ m}^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find the body surface area of a person whose height is 150 cm and who weighs 80 kg.
[tex]\text{Body surface area}( m^2)=\sqrt{\frac{\text{Height (cm)}\times \text{Weight (kg)}}{3600}}[/tex]
Substitute the values:
[tex]\text{Body surface area}( m^2)=\sqrt{\frac{150\text{ cm}\times 80\text{(kg)}}{3600}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Body surface area}( m^2)=\sqrt{\frac{12,000}{3600}}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Body surface area}( m^2)=\sqrt{3.3333333}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Body surface area}( m^2)=1.825741[/tex]
[tex]\text{Body surface area}( m^2)=1.83[/tex]
Therefore, the body surface area of the person would be 1.83 square meters.
