The distance that I have calculated

I have made these calculations thanks to the formulas that we have learned in class:

 D=10*(m-M+5/5)  where M it's  the absolute magnitude and m apparent magnitude.  M=-5.86 and m=11.2

D=10*(11.2-(-5.86)+5)/5)

D=10*(1103/250)

D=25822.6 parsec

I found that the distance it's of 25.8kpc, wich is the same as 25800 parsecs, so again, the calculations have been very close.
