x+=+6 and y+=+4 are the two given sides. The included angle between the sides is theta+=+30 (the symbol is the greek letter theta)

The formula to be used is
A+=+x%2Ay%2Asin%28theta%29

Plug in the given info and evaluate
A+=+x%2Ay%2Asin%28theta%29

A+=+6%2A4%2Asin%2830%29

A+=+6%2A4%2A0.5

A+=+12

The area of the parallelogram is 12 square cm.
