$${please}\:{check}\:{the}\:{question}! \\ $$$${you}\:{can}\:{not}\:{compare}\:{the}\:{area}\:{with} \\ $$$${the}\:{sum}\:{of}\:{diagonals}!\:{as}\:{you}\:{can}\:{not} \\ $$$${say}\:\mathrm{2}\:{cm}^{\mathrm{2}} \:{is}\:{equal}\:{to}\:\mathrm{2}\:{cm}. \\ $$

$${say}\:{AC}={a},\:{BD}={b} \\ $$$${area}=\frac{{ah}_{\mathrm{1}} }{\mathrm{2}}+\frac{{ah}_{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{{ab}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\theta}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{2}{k}^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{ab}=\frac{\mathrm{4}{k}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{sin}\:\theta} \\ $$$${a}+{b}=\mathrm{4}{k} \\ $$$${a},{b}\:{are}\:{roots}\:{of}: \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{kx}+\frac{\mathrm{4}{k}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{sin}\:\theta}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\Delta=\mathrm{16}{k}^{\mathrm{2}} −\frac{\mathrm{16}{k}^{\mathrm{2}} }{\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\theta}\geqslant\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{1}\geqslant\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\theta} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\theta\geqslant\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${since}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\theta\leqslant\mathrm{1},\:{i}.{e}.\:\mathrm{sin}^{\mathrm{2}} \:\theta\leqslant\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{the}\:{only}\:{possibility}\:{is}\:\mathrm{sin}\:\theta=\mathrm{1}, \\ $$$${i}.{e}.\:\theta=\mathrm{90}° \\ $$
