So this is a uhhh, kite?
No no, looks like a parallelogram.
Calculate area given the diagonal lengths? Hmmm...

zepdrix · Answer

We need information about the angle between the diagonals.
I guess based on the picture, we should assume that it's 90 degrees?
It looks like a right angle...

Googling, I found that the area of a parallelogram can be calculated using:$$\Large\rm A=\frac{1}{2}d_1\cdot d_2 \cdot \sin\theta$$The angle between them is 90 degrees, sin90 = 1.
So our formula simplifies to,$$\Large\rm A=\frac{1}{2}d_1\cdot d_2$$Where $\Large\rm d_1$ and $\Large\rm d_2$ are our diagonal lengths.
Which in this case would be 4 and 6.
(The 2 is only half of the diagonal length from the way I'm reading it).
