1. A student at a local community college has an internship at a nearby hospital with Dr. Dynamite. The doctor sometimes uses the patient's body surface area to calculate how much medicine he/she should receive. The formula for body surface area is the following where w = weight (in lbs), h = height (in cm), and BSA is measured in square meters: BSA =

Part 1: If patient Z weighs 240 pounds and has a height of 183 cm, what would be his/her BSA?

Part 2: If patient Y weighs 185 pounds and has a BSA of 2/2 m2, what would be his/her height?

Part 3: Using the BSA formula, solve for w, the weight.

Part 4: Dr. Dynamite has to give drug A to patient X who weighs 150 pounds and 175 cm tall. If a patient receives 2.5 mg per square meter, how much of drug A will patient X receive?
