The moon orbits the earth. At a particular time, the moon is 246,852 miles from Beijing, China. On the same line, Yukon is 32,724 miles from Beijing. Drawing another linefrom the moon to Cape Horn (the southern most point of South America), we see that Jakarta, Indonesia is collinear. If the distance of the moon to Jakarta is 148,210 miles, what is the distance from the Cape Horn to Jakarta? a. Make a visual representation of the problem. b. What is the distance from the Cape Horn to Jakarta?
