The area of a rectangle is equal to length times width.

Mathematically,
A_(rect)=l*w.

We can arbitrarily choose one expression for length and one for width; the result is the same.

Let's say that
6x^3y cm is the length, and
5xy cm is the width.

We simply write
(6x^3y)(5xy)=30x^4y^2 \ cm^2.

I am assuming you did not mean to write
6x^(3y) for the first dimension.
