The formula for the volume \( V \) of a right rectangular prism is given by:
\[
V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]
We are given that the volume \( V \) is 50 cubic units and the height is 2 units. We can use this information to find the area of the base.
Let \( A \) be the area of the base. Then we have:
\[
50 = A \times 2
\]
To find \( A \), we can solve for it by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:
\[
A = \frac{50}{2} = 25 \text{ square units}
\]
Therefore, the area of the base is **25 square units**.
\[
V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
