area of the label.
O 20 square centimeters
O 50 square centimeters
O 60 square centimeters
O 70 square centimeters

Answer 1

50 square centimeters

Explanation:

Long means length, and we know the length of the label, 10 centimeters. That means the width is half of 10 centimeters, or 5 centimeters. Now, we multiply 10 and 5 to get 50. That means the area of the label is 50 square centimeters
