The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying its length and width.
Since the rectangle is twice as long as it is tall, the length would be 2 times the height.
Let's calculate the length:
Length = 2 * Height = 2 * 5 cm = 10 cm
Now, let's calculate the area:
Area = Length * Height = 10 cm * 5 cm = 50 cm²
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 50 cm².

The formula for the area of a triangle is given as:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Using the given measurements:
Base = 13 yards
Height = 5 yards
Substituting the values into the formula:
Area = (1/2) * 13 yards * 5 yards
= 6.5 yards * 5 yards
= 32.5 square yards
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 32.5 square yards.
