Answer:

9.36*10^11 m

Explanation

Orbital velocity  v=√{(G*M)/R},

G = gravitational constant =6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²,

M = mass of the star

R =distance from the planet to the star.

v=ωR, with ω as the angular velocity and R the radius

ωR=√{(G*M)/R},

ω=2π/T,

T = orbital period of the planet

To get R we write the formula by making R the subject of the equation

(2π/T)*R=√{(G*M)/R}

{(2π/T)*R}²=[√{(G*M)/R}]²,

(4π²/T²)*R²=(G*M)/R,

(4π²/T²)*R³=G*M,

R³=(G*M*T²)/4π²,

R=∛{(G*M*T²)/4π²},

Substitute values

R=9.36*10^11 m
