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.
Given that the volume is 50 cubic units and the height is 2, we can write the equation as 50 = lw(2).
We want to find the area of the base, which is the product of length and width, lw.
To do this, we need to solve for either l or w in terms of the other variable.
We can start by isolating lw in the equation 50 = lw(2).
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get 25 = lw.
Now, we can see that lw = 25, which represents the area of the base.
