A rectangle is twice as long as it is tall. Its height is 5 centimeters. What is its area in square centimeters?(1 point) Responses 25 cm2 25 cm squared 30 cm2 30 cm squared 50 cm2 50 cm squared 12.5 cm2
The length of the rectangle is twice the height, so it is 2 * 5 centimeters = 10 centimeters.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its height, so the area is 10 centimeters * 5 centimeters = <<10*5=50>>50 square centimeters.
Therefore, the correct answer is 50 cm².
