Answer:

AC = 215,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

I've attached a diagram that depicts this 3 moons and the planet in regards to their positions.

We need to find the distance AC as shown in the image.

We are given that AM and NC = 100,000 km

And diameter; MN = 15,000km

Thus,AC = MN + NC

AC = 15000 + 100,000 + 100000 = 215,000 km
