Respuesta :

The distance from the moon to Jakarta is 240,127.83 miles

To get the distance from moon to Jarkata, we will use the intersecting chord theorem;

According to the theorem,

251,308* (238,857) = 249,978 * x

x is the distance from the moon to Jakarta

60,026,674,956 =  249,978 * x

x = 60,026,674,956/249,978

x = 240,127.83

Hence the distance from the moon to Jakarta is 240,127.83 miles
