The correct answer is 25 cm2 or 25 cm squared.

To find the area of a rectangle, you multiply the length by the width. Since the rectangle is twice as long as it is tall, the length is 2 times the height, which is 2 * 5 cm = 10 cm.

Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 10 cm * 5 cm = 50 cm2 or 50 cm squared.
