The distance from the sun is option 2 5.59 astronomical units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1; To solve the question we need two variables. P which represents the number of years a planet takes to complete a revolution around the Sun. This is given as 13.2 years in the question so P = 13.2 years. The other variable is the distance between the planet and the sun in astronomical units. We need to determine the value of this using the given equation.
Step 2; So we have to calculate the value of 'a' in Kepler's equation. But the exponential power is on the variable we need to find so we multiply both the sides by an exponential power of
to be able to calculate 'a'.
P = ,
=
,
= a,
= a = 5.58533 astronomical units.
Rounding it over to nearest hundredth we get 5.59 astronomical units.
