Answer 1

The volume \( V \) of a right rectangular prism is given by the formula:

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

To find the area of the base, we can rearrange this formula:

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

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

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

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