The volume \( V \) of a right rectangular prism can be calculated using the formula:

\[ V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \]

In this case, we know the volume \( V = 50 \) cubic units and the height \( h = 2 \) units. We can rearrange the formula to find the area of the base \( A \):

\[ A = \frac{V}{h} \]

Substituting the given values:

\[ A = \frac{50}{2} = 25 \text{ square units} \]

Therefore, the area of the base is 25 square units.
