Answer:


30 = 2 * l + 2 * b \\ 30 = 2 * 5 + 2 * b \\ 30 = 10 + 2b \\ 30 - 10 = 2b \\ 20 = 2b \\ = 20 / 2 = 10 \\ area = l * b \\ 5 * 10 = 50cm {}^(2)

Answer:

Pretty sure its 50

Explanation:

if the height is 5, that would be multiplied by 2 because there are two identical sides. From the product, 10, you would need to get to 30, so you add 20. that means the other two identical sides are 10cm. 10x5 (length x width) is equal to 50.
