Answer:

maybe, maybe not

Explanation:

Any number of figures can have a base of 10 feet and an area of 50 square feet. They don't even need to be polygons to match that description.

The figure could be a triangle, rectangle, parallelogram, trapezoid, part of a semicircle, some parabolic shape, or many others.
