Answer:

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.
