Finding the Area with Pythagoras's theorem [Solved!]

My question
the length of the longer side of a parallelogram is twice the length of the shorter side and two of the internal angles are 60 degrees. the length of the shorter diagonal is 3 cm. what is the area of the parallelogram?
Relevant page
3. Values of Trigonometric Functions
What I've done so far
I haven't done anything yet as I am unable to find the height of the parallelogram.

In the "relevant page" in your question, you'll see a discussion about 30-60 triangle. That should help get you started.
