A rectangle is twice as long as it is tall. Its height is 5 centimeters. What is its area in square centimeters? (1 point)
О 50 cm2
O 30 cm?
O 25 cm?
O 12.5 cm?
The length of the rectangle can be calculated by multiplying the height by 2, since the rectangle is twice as long as it is tall.
Height = 5 cm
Length = 2 * 5 cm = 10 cm
Now, calculate the area of the rectangle by multiplying the length by the height:
Area = Length * Height
Area = 10 cm * 5 cm
Area = 50 cm²
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 50 cm².
Answer: O 50 cm²
