\hline
Titania & 8.71 & 435,910 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

What is the average distance between Miranda and Uranus?

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 extract and interpret data from the provided table.

- Miranda has an average distance from Uranus of 129,390 km.

Given the multiple-choice options:

- [tex]\( 2.84 \times 10^4 \)[/tex] km
- [tex]\( 1.29 \times 10^5 \)[/tex] km
- [tex]\( 1.47 \times 10^6 \)[/tex] km
- [tex]\( 4.65 \times 10^7 \)[/tex] km

We can compare Miranda's distance to the available choices. The closest value to 129,390 km can be calculated by analyzing their scientific notations:

- [tex]\( 2.84 \times 10^4 \)[/tex] km = 28,400 km
- [tex]\( 1.29 \times 10^5 \)[/tex] km = 129,000 km
- [tex]\( 1.47 \times 10^6 \)[/tex] km = 1,470,000 km
- [tex]\( 4.65 \times 10^7 \)[/tex] km = 46,500,000 km

Therefore, the closest average distance to 129,390 km is [tex]\( 1.29 \times 10^5 \)[/tex] km, which corresponds to 129,000 km.

So, the average distance between Miranda and Uranus is [tex]\( 1.29 \times 10^5 \)[/tex] km.
