A rectangle is twice as long as it is tall. It’s height is 5 cm. What is its area in square centimeters?
Since the rectangle is twice as long as it is tall, the length of the rectangle is 2 times the height.
Height = 5 cm
Length = 2 x 5 cm = 10 cm
Area of the rectangle = Length x Height
Area = 10 cm x 5 cm
Area = 50 square cm
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 50 square centimeters.
