    10 square inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Rectangular prism volume = area of the base * height

    Cylinder volume = area of the base * height

    Given that the volumes are equal, then the areas are equal.

    Area of the base of the rectangular prism = length * width = 5*2 = 10 square inches = Area of the base of the cylinder

    Their cross sectional area parallel to the bases are congruent to the bases.
