The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length and width. In this case, the height (or width) of the rectangle is 5 cm and the length is twice the height, so it is 2 times 5 cm, which is 10 cm.
To find the area, multiply the length and width:
Area = Length x Width = 10 cm x 5 cm = 50 cm²
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 50 cm².
