The program to define a method that computes the positive difference between the areas of two rectangles is found in the attached image.
The program defines a class Rectangle with a constructor, and a static method areaDiff. The static method areaDiff takes two rectangles (rect1 and rect2) and returns the positive difference between their areas.
The formula used by areaDiff is:
[tex]|(rect1.width \times rect1.height)-(rect2.width \times rect2.height)|[/tex]
where
[tex]rect1,rect2=\text{the two rectangles}\\(rect.width\times rect.height)\text{ calculates the area of a rectangle object}\\|x|=\text{the absolute value function}[/tex]
