A. [tex]$2.84 \times 10^4$[/tex] km
B. [tex]$1.29 \times 10^5$[/tex] km
C. [tex]$1.47 \times 10^6$[/tex] km
D. [tex]$4.65 \times 10^7$[/tex] km



Answer :

To determine the average distance between Miranda and Uranus, we need to look at the given table and identify the specific information related to Miranda's average distance from Uranus.

The table provides us with these details for Miranda:
- Orbital Period (days): 0.319
- Average Distance from Uranus (km): 129,390

The question asks for the average distance from Uranus to Miranda. From the table, we see that this distance is directly given and is equal to 129,390 km.

Thus, the correct choice for the average distance between Miranda and Uranus is:
