The diagram below is orbiting the Sun. The two sweeps are on opposite sides of the sun and are labeled t. Though the orbital distance covered in each sweep is different, the time interval for each sweep is the same. Areas A and B are bounded by the arcs of the planet’s sweep in time, t, and the lines between the endpoints of the arc and the center of the Sun. What is the relationship between Area A and Area B?

• Area A is 50% larger than Area B

• Area A is 50% smaller than Area B

• Area A is the same size as Area B

• Area A is twice as big as Area B
