I choose 50

Answer 1

To find the area of the rectangle, we first need to know both the height and the length.

Given:

• Height (h) = 5 cm
• Length (l) = 2 × height = 2 × 5 cm = 10 cm

Now, we can calculate the area (A) of the rectangle using the formula:

\[ A = \text{length} \times \text{height} \]

Substituting the values:

\[ A = 10 , \text{cm} \times 5 , \text{cm} = 50 , \text{cm}^2 \]

So, the area of the rectangle is 50 cm². Your choice is correct!
