Fiberglass insulation for attics is available in 12 -inch thickness. Its $\mathcal{R}$ -factor is a. 38 b. 76 c. 29
since fiberglass insulation is readily compressible, you could squash two slabs initially 6 inches wide into a 6 -inch wall space. This would a. double the overall $\mathcal{R}$ -factor. b. increase the overall $\mathcal{R}$ -factor but not double it. c. decrease the overall $\mathcal{R}$ -factor. d. not change the overall $\mathcal{R}$ -factor.
Insulation By measuring slopes in the accompanying figure, estimate the temperature change in degrees per inch for (a) the gypsum wallboard; (b) the fiberglass insulation; (c) the wood sheathing.
