Sure! Let's choose the distance of Venus from the Sun, which is approximately 108.2 million km, and the distance of Mars from the Sun, which is approximately 227.9 million km.
Multiplying the distances:
108.2 million km * 227.9 million km =
= (108.2 * 10^6) km * (227.9 * 10^6) km
To multiply these numbers, we add their exponents and multiply the coefficients:
= (108.2 * 227.9) * (10^6 * 10^6) km²
= 24,652.18 * (10^6+6) km²
= 24,652.18 * 10^12 km²
= 2.465218 * 10^16 km²
Therefore, the product of the distances of Venus and Mars from the Sun is approximately 2.465218 * 10^16 square kilometers.
Choose two of the distances of planets from the sun and multiply them. Show your work.
