Says cannot find method getArea in the test class. The method name was the same in the orginal. Why hasn't it gone through?

You'll have to provide more information. Copy the relevant parts of the classes into the post and be a bit clearer about the error message.  What says it cannot find getArea? When/where does that message appear? Which characters/lines are highlighted when the message appears?

From the Rectanglelength class and Rectanglelength test

public class Rectanglelength....

    public int getArea() {

        return  length* width;

    }

    @Test

    public void testArea() {

        Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle(0, 0, 6, 5); // set up the width and height as initial state of r1 using constructor

        assertEquals( 30, r1.getArea() );

It mentions it on the line where it says assertEquals with .getArea()

You defined a Rectanglelength class, and defined getArea() for instances of that class, but you declared r1 to be an instance of the class Rectangle.
