Not enough information is given. You also need one of the angles in order to get the diagonals.
If it were a rectangle, you could simply use the Pythagorean Theorem. But that's a special parallelogram, where all the angles are already known.
If you know the angle, you apply the Law of Cosines, and the formula is:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab cos(C)
where 'C' is the angle opposite the diagonal 'c', or in this case, between your adjacent sides. Repeat the process, using C's supplementary angle (180-C deg) to get the other diagonal.

Cannot be done. There are an infinite possible answers.
Yuo need to know an angle.

you need more info - do you have one of the angles? or the area?
