A rectangle is twice as long as it is tall. Its height is 5 centimeters. What is its area in square centimeters?
25 cm2
12.5 cm2
50 cm2
30 cm2
The length of the rectangle is twice the height, so it is 2 * 5 = 10 cm.
Area of a rectangle = length * height
Area = 10 cm * 5 cm
Area = 50 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 50 cm^2.
The correct answer is: 50 cm^2
