A rectangle is twice as long as it is tall. Height is 5 cm. What is its area in square centimeters

Answer 1

If the height of the rectangle is 5 cm, then the length of the rectangle is twice as long, which means it is 2 * 5 cm = <<2*5=10>>10 cm.
The area of the rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length and height, so the area is 10 cm * 5 cm = <<10*5=50>>50 square centimeters. Answer: \boxed{50}.
