Question

Please help me with this question. A=.2

 

Let's say that the Earth is right in the middle of the liquid water Habitable Zone around our sun. Imagine that you find a planet in the middle of the
Habitable Zone of a small, nearby star. The star has a mass of 1/2 that of the sun, a radius 1/2 that of the sun, and a temperature of 3000 K (you can
assume that the sun is 6000 K). What would be the orbital period of this Earth-twin? (Hint - this problem has several steps, and requires Kepler's 3rd
law for the last step).
