I think you need to proofread what you posted. This doesn't make sense.
How do you get it "5 cm wide... cut from all around" when it only measures 2 cm in one direction?
As far as I can tell:
The area cut would be 5*2 = 10 cm^2
The remaining area would b3 25*2 = 50 cm^2
As far as I can tell:

I suspect it was 30 by 20 to start with.
