<h3>Answer: 8 seconds</h3>

===========================================================

Explanation:

The general cosine template is

y = A*cos(B(t - C)) + D

where in this case

A = 4
B = pi/4
C = 0
D = 8

We only really need to worry about the B value. To get the period T, we do the following

T = 2pi/B

T = (2pi)/(pi/4)

T = 2pi * (4/pi)

T = 8

Note how the pi terms canceled. The period is 8 seconds, which is the length of one full cycle. This is the time it takes for the pendulum to do one full swing (eg: start at the right, swing to the left all the way, then swing back to the right again).

The result of 8 we got has nothing to do with the D = 8 value (this D value could be any other number and T = 8 would still be the case as long as B doesn't change of course).

It costs Doug $30 to set up a cupcake stand. He charges $2 for every cupcake he sells. If Doug makes $48 of profit in one day, h

Answer:

It is 39 cupcakes.

Since he charges $2 per cupcake (39), it is 78.

He makes profit so subtract 30 from 78 and you get $48.

For a project, Gabrielle made a model of an Egyptian pyramid. The square base has a side length measuring 10 inches. The pyramid

Varvara68 [4.7K]

The pyramid is shown in the diagram below.
The pyramid is built from four congruent triangles and one square as the base

We have the side of the square, so the area is = 10×10 = 100

We need the height of the triangle to work out its area. We can find out by using the height of the pyramid and half of the length of the side of the square.

Using the Pythagoras rule
Height of triangle = $\sqrt{12^{2}+ 5^{2} } =13$

Area of one triangle = 1/2×10×12=60
Surface area of the pyramid = 100 + (4×60) = 340 square inches
