Exercise 5
A model for the surface area of a human body is given by the
function
\[S = f(w, h) =
0.1091w^{0.425}h^{0.725}\]
where \(w\) is the weight (in pounds),
\(h\) is the height (in inches), and
\(S\) is measured in square feet.
(a) Find \(f(160, 70)\) and interpret
it.
(b) What is your own surface area?
