To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply its length by its width. Given that the rectangle is twice as long as it is tall and its height is 5 centimeters, you can set up the equation:
Length = 2 * Height
Length = 2 * 5 cm = 10 cm
Now, you can calculate the area by multiplying the length and height:
Area = Length * Height
Area = 10 cm * 5 cm = 50 cm2
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 50 cm2.
