Solution 1 (No trig)
Let's redraw the diagram, but extend some helpful lines.
We obviously see that we must use power of a point since they've given us lengths in a circle and there are intersection points. Let be our tangents from the circle to the parallelogram. By the secant power of a point, the power of . Then . Similarly, the power of and . We let and label the diagram accordingly.
Notice that because . Let be the center of the circle. Since and intersect and , respectively, at right angles, we have is a right-angled trapezoid and more importantly, the diameter of the circle is the height of the triangle. Therefore, we can drop an altitude from to and to , and both are equal to . Since , . Since and . We can now use Pythagorean theorem on ; we have and .
We know that because is a parallelogram. Using Pythagorean theorem on , . Therefore, base . Thus the area of the parallelogram is the base times the height, which is and the answer is
