The formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism is V = lwh, where V is the volume, l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height.

In this case, the volume is given as 50 cubic units and the height is given as 2. Let's call the length and width of the base l and w, respectively.

So, we have the equation 50 = lwh.

Since the height is given as 2, we can rearrange the equation to solve for the area of the base (l x w):

50 = (area of base) x 2

Dividing both sides by 2, we get:

25 = area of base

Therefore, the area of the base is 25 square units.
