A straw is placed in a rectangular box that is 6 inches by 4 inches by 8 inches, as shown. If the straw fits exactly in the box diagonally from the bottom left corner to the top right back corner, how long is the straw? Leave your answer in simplest radical form.

Period is the time it takes for one “cycle” to complete. in the parent sine function, period is 2*pi since sin(0) = 0, sin(pi/2) = 1, sin(pi) = 0, sin(3pi/2) = -1, and sin(2pi) = 0. at that point, the sequence repeats itself. i’m not sure if your graph is similar to the sine function since you didn’t provide a picture, but you can find the period by looking at a graph.
