The equation t^2 = a^3 shows the relationship between a planet’s orbital period, t, and the planet’s mean distance from the sun, a, in astronomical units, au. if planet y is twice the mean distance from the sun as planet x, by what factor is the orbital period increased?

2^3/2 or option D

Step-by-step explanation:

I just took a test with this question on it and got perfect marks so I know it's right.

answer: 1,380

step-by-step explanation:

1: you turn %15 into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

2: and then you multiply .15 by 1,200 , which will get you 180.00

3: from there you will add 180 to 1,200

4: which will get you 1,380

hope it *im kind of slow so idk if my answer is right*
