Help with Matlab commands?
The body's surface area is often using for determining doses of drugs.
It's not easy to measure a person's surface area, so there have been
various formulae proposed to estimate the surface area using a person's
height and weight. Three formulae for the body surface area in m^2 are:
Mosteller: sqrt hw/3600
du Bois and du Bois: 0:007184 h^0725 w^0.425
Haycock: 0:024265 h^0.3964 w^0.5378
where h is the height measured in centimetres and w the weight in
kilogrammes.
How would I go about using Matlab to calculate the body surface area using
each of the formulae for a person whose height is 170 cm and whose weight
is 75 kg? What Matlab commands should I use?
