Dm= 2.28 x 10^8m
De= 1.50 x 10^11m
Te= 365.2 days or 1 year
Tm= ?
(T/1 yr)^2 = (2.28 x 10^8m/1.50 x 10^11m)^3
(T^2/1yr) = 3.5 x 10^57)
T^2 = sqrt of 3.5 x 10^57
= 5.9 x 10^28
okay, i tried this way out
(t/365.2days)^2 = (2.28x10^11/1.50x10^11)^3
(T/365.2) = square root of 3.5
T^2/133371 = 1.87
multiply 133371 to both sides
t^2 = the square root of 1.87 X 133371
T = 499
