To find the area of the base, we need to rearrange the formula for the volume of a right rectangular prism:
Volume = Length * Width * Height
In this case, the volume is given as 50 cubic units and the height is given as 2. Let's assume the length is L and the width is W.
50 = L * W * 2
Dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get:
25 = L * W
Therefore, the area of the base (which is equal to the length multiplied by the width) is 25 square units. Therefore, the correct answer is:
25 square units
