    To find the circumference (orbit) of an object, you use Pi x Diameter.

    As you have the circumference of B, you divide it by Pi to get the Diameter.

    So 120 divided by 3.141592654 = 38.2 minutes for the Diameter.

    As' radius and Diameter will be 3x greater than B.

    38.2 x 3 = 114.6

    To get back to the orbital period, times 114.6 by Pi, and you will get 360 minutes.
