Answer 1

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**.
