A rectangle as twice as long as it is tall. Its height is 5 centimeters. What is its area in square centimeters.
A) 50 cm
B) 25 cm
C) 12.5 cm
D) 30 cm
B) 25 cm
If the height of the rectangle is 5 cm, then the length of the rectangle would be twice that, which is 10 cm.
Area of a rectangle = length x width
Area = 10 cm x 5 cm
Area = 50 cm
The correct answer is 25 cm.
