.

=

     The area of a parallelogram equals half the product of the measures of its                             
     diagonals  and    and the sines of the angle between them.



See the lesson  Area of a parallelogram  in this site.

So,  in our case    = *6*8*sin(55°) = 24*sin(55°).

Calculate it yourself,  please.
