Answer 1

To find the area of the rectangle, you need to know its length and height.

Given:
- Height (h) = 5 cm
- Length (l) = 2 × height = 2 × 5 cm = 10 cm

Now, you can calculate the area (A) using the formula:
\[ A = \text{length} \times \text{height} \]
\[ A = 10 \, \text{cm} \times 5 \, \text{cm} = 50 \, \text{cm}^2 \]

So, the area of the rectangle is **50 cm²**.
