Getting area of a Kite

[nazzeonze]

Given a Kite ABCD:
AD=AB= sq. rt. of 246
there is an interior point E
such that ED=EB=BC=CD=DB
(they form a diamond with the horizontal diagonal DB is equal to the sides.)

Find the area of ABCD

Please guys help me. iwant to know how to solve this problem.

i am 17 years old. a college student.

i think that the angle AED and angle AEB are 150 degrees because the angle BED is equal to 60 degrees
subtracting that from 360 leaves us with 300 degrees and i divided it by two since AED and ABD are equal.

i wanted to get the angle ABE or angle ADE to be able to solve for the area. that is where i am stuck because i have ran out of ideas on how to get an answer. please help me.
