In recent years, scientists have discovered hundreds of planets orbiting other stars. Some of these planets are in orbits that are similar to that of earth, which orbits the sun (M_sun = 1.99 x 10³⁰ kg) at a distance of 1.50 x 10¹¹ m, called 1 astronomical unit (1 au). Others have extreme orbits that are much different from anything in our solar system. The problem relates to some of these planets that follow circular orbits around other stars.

WASP-32b orbits with a period of only 2.7 days a star with a mass that is 1.1 times that of the sun. How many au from the star is this planet?
