24. Body surface area. The Haycock formula for approxi- mating the surface area S, in square meters (m), of a human is given by S(h, w) = 0.024265h0.3964,,0.5378 where h is the person's height in centimeters and w is the person's weight in kilograms. (Source: www.halls.md.) Use the Haycock approximation to estimate the surface area of a person whose height is 165 cm and whose weight is 80 kg.
