Connecting the ends of each of these lines will form a rectangle.

The lines bisect each other but are not equal. Connecting the end points of the lines will produce a parallelogram, not a rectangle.
Area of the parallelogram = (10/2)*(14/2)*(sin150 + sin30)
= 35 * 1 m^2
= 35m^2

This is a trick question, the diagonals of a paralellagram must be congruent for it to be considered a rectangle. Since the diagonals arent congruent, there is no area to find. Heres a link that provides the proof for congruent diagonals.

no it would NOT make a rectangle as a rectangle would have the SAME length from the point of intersection
what you would get would be a parallelogram

0.5 * 10 * 14 * sin 30° = 35 m2
