Heat transfer problem (no solving needed, just need advice)

[williamx11373]

I need to use the equation ( thermal resistance for convection)

R= 1/hA


but I am not given an Area, I am only given 4 meters as a thickness. how do I find A to use for the equation to solve for R.

Why not give us the whole problem? It is pretty hard to figure out what you are talking about from what you have written. Is it possible that thermal conductivity could be part of the problem?

What is the main question. What you have given is unclear.
