The time T (in days) required for a planet to make one revolution around the sun is modeled by the function T = , where R is the maximum radius of the planet’s orbit (in millions of miles). This is known as Kepler’s third law of planetary motion. Use the equation given to approximate the number of days required for one complete orbit of each planet, given its maximum orbital radius.

a. Venus: 67 million mi

b. Jupiter: 480 million mi

c. Saturn: 890 million mi
