To find the area of the base of a right rectangular prism using the volume formula, you can use the formula:

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

Given that the volume \( V = 50 \) cubic units and the height \( h = 2 \) units, you can rearrange the formula to solve for the base area:

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

Substituting the known values:

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

Therefore, the area of the base is 25 square units.
