Rod a has twice the diameter of rod b, but both are made of iron and have the same initial length. both rods are now subjected to the same change in temperature (but remain solid). how would the change in the rods’ lengths compare? (a)rod a > rod b. (b)rod b > rod a. (c)rod a = rod b. (d) need to know whether the rods were cooled or heated.

The temperature in gavin's oven is a sinusoidal function of time. gavin sets his oven so that it has a maximum temperature of 280°f and a minimum temperature of 240°. once the temperature hits 280°, it takes 20 minutes before it is 280° again. gavin's cake needs to be in the oven for 30 minutes at temperatures at or above 270°. he puts the cake into the oven when it is at 260° and rising. how long will gavin need to leave the cake in the oven? (round your answer to the nearest minute.)
