A rectangle is twice as long as it is tall. Its height is 5 centimeters. What is its area in square centimeters?
12.5 cm2
12.5 cm squared
25 cm2
25 cm squared
30 cm2
30 cm squared
50 cm2
The height is 5 cm, which means the length of the rectangle is twice that, so it is 10 cm.
To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the height.
Area = length x height = 10 cm x 5 cm = 50 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 50 cm2.
