Gary is cleaning windows. He sets his ladder 25 feet away from the wall of the house to reach the windows on the second story, which are at a height of 20 feet above the ground. He moves his ladder 15 feet closer to the wall to reach the windows on the third story of the house. Approximately how high above the ground are the windows on the third story of the house?

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.
