Area of the rectangle = Base * height
A = bh, where
A is the area of the rectangle
b is its base
h is its height
In the question the base of the rectangle is 5 feet
b = 5 ft
The height of the rectangle is 10 feet
h = 10 ft
Let us substitute b and h in the formula of A
[tex]A=5\times10=50ft^2[/tex]The area of the rectangle is 50 square feet
