Q2. On average, the surface area A of human beings is related to weight W and height H.
Measurements on several individuals give values of A in the following table:
H (cm) 182 180 179 187 189 194 195
193 200
W (kg)
74 88 94 78 84
98 76
86 96
A (m²) 1.92 2.11 2.15 2.02 2.09 2.31 2.02 2.16 2.31
Develop an equation to predict area as a function of height and weight using numerical method and MATLAB.
Use it to estimate the surface area for a 187-cm, 78-kg person
