Seals may cool themselves by using thermal windows, patches on their bodies with much higher than average

Question:

Seals may cool themselves by using thermal windows, patches on their bodies with much higher than average surface temperature. Suppose a seal has a 0.030 m² thermal window at a temperature of 30°C. If the seal's surroundings are a frosty -10°C, what is the net rate of energy loss by radiation? Assume an emissivity equal to that of a human.
