The formula for the volume \( V \) of a right rectangular prism is given by:
\[ V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \]
In this case, we are given that the volume \( V \) is 50 cubic units and the height \( h \) is 2 units. We can rearrange the formula to find the area of the base \( A \):
\[ A = \frac{V}{h} \]
Substituting in the given values:
\[ A = \frac{50 \text{ cubic units}}{2 \text{ units}} = 25 \text{ square units} \]
So, the area of the base is 25 square units.
