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?

sss (side, side, side)

sas (side, angle, side)

asa (angle, side, angle)

aas (angle, angle, side)

hl (hypotenuse, leg)

step-by-step explanation:

we need to solve for 'x' the following equation:  

we have that:

⇒

⇒ ⇒

factorizing, we get that:
