A rectangle is twice as long as it is tall. Its height is 5 centimeters. What is its area in square centimeters?
(1 point)
• 25 cm?
• 30 cm?
• 12.5 cm₴
O 50 cm?
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. Since the rectangle is twice as long as it is tall, the length is 2 times the height.
Height = 5 cm
Length = 2 x 5 cm = 10 cm
Area = Length x Height
Area = 10 cm x 5 cm
Area = 50 cm²
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 50 cm². So the correct option is:
• 50 cm²
