To find the area of the base of a right rectangular prism, we can use the formula for the volume:
\[
V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]
In this case, we know the volume (\(V\)) is 50 cubic units and the height (\(h\)) is 2 units. We can rearrange the formula to find the base area (\(A\)):
\[
A = \frac{V}{h}
\]
Now, substituting the known values:
\[
A = \frac{50 \text{ cubic units}}{2 \text{ units}} = 25 \text{ square units}
\]
Therefore, the area of the base is \(25\) square units.

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