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

O 50 cm2
O 30 cm2
O 12.5 cm2
O 25 cm2

1 answer

The length of the rectangle is twice the height, so it is 2 * 5 cm = 10 cm.
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length and height, so the area of this rectangle is 10 cm * 5 cm = 50 cm^2.

Therefore, the correct answer is:
O 50 cm^2
