    Solve by seperation of Variables

    A body at an unknown temperature is placed in a room which is held at a constant temperature of F. If after 10 minutes the temperature of the body is F and after 20 minutes the temperature of teh body is , find the body's initial temperature.
    I have no idea to even begin to start the problem. I just don't understand how i would write the initial equation for it.

    Do you know Newton's Law of Cooling?

    You don't need the area to solve this problem though
