The area of a rectangle is equal to its length multiplied by its width. Since we know that the rectangle is twice as long as it is tall, the length would be 2 times the height.
Height = 5 cm
Length = 2 * 5 cm = 10 cm
Now, we can calculate the area:
Area = Length * Height = 10 cm * 5 cm = 50 cm²
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 50 cm².
