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
50 cm2
50 cm squared
30 cm2
30 cm squared
12.5 cm2
12.5 cm squared
The area of the rectangle can be calculated by multiplying the length and height. Since the height is 5 cm and the length is twice as long, the length would be 2 * 5 cm = 10 cm.
Therefore, the area of the rectangle would be 10 cm * 5 cm = 50 cm^2.
So, the correct answer is:
50 cm2
50 cm squared
