Answer:
b. 0.034
Explanation:
The heat transfer coefficient of a material (U-value) is equal to the reciprocal of its R-value, therefore:
[tex]U = \frac{1}{R}[/tex]
where
R is the R-value of the material
For the insulator in this problem,
R = 29
Substituting into the equation, we find the heat transfer coefficient:
[tex]U=\frac{1}{29}=0.034[/tex]
