Sure! Since the height is 5 cm, and the rectangle is twice as long as it is tall, the length of the rectangle would be 2 * 5 cm = 10 cm.
Now, to find the area of the rectangle, you use the formula: Area = length * width.
Area = 10 cm * 5 cm = 50 cm^2.
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 50 cm^2 or 50 square centimeters.
