Given the lengths $\ell_1, \ell_2$ of two diagonals and the angle $\alpha$ between them, let $2a$ be the required sum of lengths of two adjacent sides.
($AB$ and $AC$ are the two blue line segments in diagram below)
(The red ellipse in diagram below)
Take $AB$ and $GF$ as the two desired diagonal. The quadrilateral $AGBF$ will be a trapezoid one seek. To see this.
