Answer 1

To find the area of the base of a right rectangular prism, you can use the formula for the volume:

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

Given:
- Volume = 50 cubic units
- Height = 2 units

You can rearrange the formula to solve for the base area:

\[ \text{Base Area} = \frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Height}} \]

Substituting in the values:

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

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