Consider the equation of tangent as y=mx+c
y=mx+c Tangent to y2=12xc=3m y=mx+3m
It is also tangent to ellipse x26+y23=1
3m2=6m2+39m2=6m2+36m4+3m29=0
m2=1, 32 (Not possible) 
m=±1
y=x+3,y=x3 Are the tangents

Point of intersection of tangents is (–3, 0) 
A1(3,6) A2(2,1) A3(2,1) A4(3,6)
Area of quadrilateral A1A2A3A4
=123223361166=12|(3+12)+(2+2)+(12+3)+(18+18)|=12|70|=35 sq.units
