To find the area of the base of a right rectangular prism, you can use the formula for volume:

\[ V = \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \]

In this case, you are given the volume \( V = 50 \) cubic units and the height \( h = 2 \) units. You can rearrange the formula to find the base area:

\[ \text{Base Area} = \frac{V}{h} \]

Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Base Area} = \frac{50}{2} = 25 \text{ square units} \]

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