A rectangle is twice as long as it is tall. Its height is 5 centimeters. What is its area in square centimeters? (1 point)

Question

• 50 cm2
• 25 cm2
• 30 cm2
• 12.5 cm2

Answer 1

To find the area of a rectangle, you need to multiply its length by its width. In this case, the length is twice the height.

Height = 5 cm
Length = 2 * Height = 2 * 5 cm = 10 cm

Area = Length * Height = 10 cm * 5 cm = 50 cm²

Therefore, the correct answer is:
• 50 cm²
