Using the formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism, what is the area of the base when the volume is 50 cubic units and the height is 2?
100 square units
25 square units
75 square units
200 square units
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 V = 50 cubic units and h = 2, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the area of the base:
V = lwh
50 = lw(2)
Since h = 2, we have:
50 = 2lw
Dividing both sides by 2:
25 = lw
Therefore, the area of the base is 25 square units. Answer: \boxed{25}.
