The wall of a cold store is constructed from two layers of brick with a foam-filled cavity between, as shown in Figure 4. Each brick layer is 10 cm thick and the foam cavity is 5 cm wide. The outside temperature is 30 °C and the inside temperature is -5 °C.

Sketch a graph to show how the temperature would vary across the wall.
