Find the product of 6.5 and the positive difference between 2.8 and 9.3

Answer 1

To find the product of 6.5 and the positive difference between 2.8 and 9.3, we can follow these steps:

1. Calculate the positive difference between 2.8 and 9.3:

\[ \text{Positive difference} = |2.8 - 9.3| = | -6.5 | = 6.5 \]

2. Now, multiply this positive difference by 6.5:

\[ \text{Product} = 6.5 \times 6.5 \]

3. Calculate \(6.5 \times 6.5\):

\[ 6.5 \times 6.5 = 42.25 \]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ \boxed{42.25} \]
