The diagram is not given.  I make one diagram. Hope it is right. But for the dimensions,  I have two possibilities... of the size of magnetic compass needle or blade.  A magnetic compass needle is in the shape of a Rhombus.

Figure1:
   side = AB = 5 cm.    Diagonal BD = 1 cm.  BO = 0.50 cm

Using Pythagoras theorem:
     AO² = AB² - OB² = 25 - 1/4 = 99/4 
    AO = 3 √11 /2  = 3 * 3.32 /4 = 2.49 cm
Diagonal AC = 2 * AO = 4.98 cm
               BD = 1 cm
Area of the blade = 1/2 * AC * BD = 2.49 cm²

======
Figure 2:

AC = 10 cm   AO = 5 cm               AB = 6 cm
OB² = AB² - AO² = 6² - 5² = 11 
OB = √11 = 3.32 cm
Diagonals BD = 2 * OB = 6.64 cm
                  AC = 10 cm
Area ABCD = 1/2 * AC * BD = 33.2 cm²
