when t is between 0 and T: E is zero (i.e. horizontal line on the t-axis)
now for the second and third section - again is a horizontal line but it does not matter which way you put them as long as they are in opposite (i.e. 2nd might be below the t-axis and 3rd above the t-axis or vice versa)

but the third part needs to be double of the second part ...

I hope that makes sense  :D

It is not a sine wave. Square waves have the RMS equal to peak voltage. You have to accept this at A level.
For sawtooth voltage , for example, its RMS=Vo/( square root of 3). And so on.
You can check it out at wikipedia if you want to know the detail explanation

Actually there is another way to think of it. First what is the rms value - its the Root Mean Square value

that means you Square all the values first (when you square - you'll get the value of 9 [both the -ve and +ve part])
then you take the Mean (mean of 9 is just 9  :D)
and last you take the Root (square root of 9 is 3 !!  ;))
