The Attempt at a Solution

I'm having difficulty relating the two pieces of information. I have been staring at this problem for quite some time and haven't gotten anywhere. Any information would be helpful. I left out the number because I'm more interested in knowing how to solve the problem than I am getting the answer.

Thanks

Well what precisely are you given? You're given power per unit area, and what's power? Energy per time. Specifically, you know in an area of 1 m^2, there are xxx joules per second, which is one way to interpret that information
