Circular Motion, Universal Gravitation & Kepler

What is the Universal law of gravitation equation? 

• G=F ⋅ m⋅m2/r²
• F=G ⋅ m⋅m₂/(r)²
• F=G ⋅ r²/m⋅m₂
• G=F ⋅ r²/m⋅m₂

• perihelion

What is true about the area between points A, B and the Sun, and the area between points H, I and the Sun?

• The area between A, B and the Sun is the largest.
• The area between H, I and the Sun is the largest
• Both areas are equal in size
• There is not enough information to determine the areas
