TZ is the space diagonal of the cube. Given its length as 4*sqrt(3), the side of the cube has length 4.
Picture points A and B as the midpoints of VW and YZ, respectively. Then AB=4, AX=2, and BX is the altitude of triangle XYZ.
Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of altitude BX; then the area of triangle XYZ is one-half base times height....
