A rectangle is twice as long as it is tall. Its height is 5 centimeters. What is its area in square centimeters?(1 point) Responses 12.5 cm2 12.5 cm squared 30 cm2 30 cm squared 50 cm2 50 cm squared 25 cm2 25 cm squared

Answer 1

The length of the rectangle can be found by multiplying the height by 2: 5 cm * 2 = <<5*2=10>>10 cm
Then, the area can be found by multiplying the length and height: 10 cm * 5 cm = <<10*5=50>>50 cm²
Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 50 cm².
