The connection between the area of skin S in dm^2 and bodyweight W in kg you are able to estimate with the equation S=c*W^2/3 in which c is the coefficient of a bat (c+57.5)

 

a. Calculate the area of skin in dm^2 for a bat that weighs 6 grams

b. An older bat has an area of skin two times the size of one of its pups. What ratio does their weights have. 

c. The given equation for bats can also be written in the form W=a*S^b. Calculate a in four decimals and b
