A rectangle is twice as long as it is tall. Its height is 5 centimeters. What is its area in square centimeters?(1 point) Responses 25 cm2 25 cm squared 30 cm2 30 cm squared 50 cm2 50 cm squared 12.5 cm2

Answer 1

The length of the rectangle is twice the height, so it is 2 * 5 centimeters = 10 centimeters.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its height, so the area is 10 centimeters * 5 centimeters = <<10*5=50>>50 square centimeters.
Therefore, the correct answer is 50 cm².
