Answer 1

To find the area of the rectangle, we need to know both its height and width.

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

Thus, the area of the rectangle is 50 cm².

The correct response is 50 cm² or 50 cm squared.
