Area is found by two side lengths multiplied together, the two side lengths in the problem are 5cm and 6cm, 5 times 6 is 30, (plus add the measurement) which is 30 cm. :))
I don't really know what your question is asking for but I can tell you there's a quadratic formula that solves for x-ints. There's a quadratic equation which is Ax + bx + c = 0.
