Douglas needs to wrap the lateral faces of a triangular pyramid, where
the base is an equilateral triangle,
with gold foil to make a trophy as
shown below. What is the lateral
surface area of the pyramid?

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.
