Answer 1

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

$$\text{Volume}=\text{Base Area}\times \text{Height}$$

We can rearrange the formula to find the area of the base:

$$\text{Base Area}=\frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Height}}$$

Given that the volume is 50 cubic units and the height is 2 units, we can substitute these values into the equation:

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

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