6. Through the midpoints of sides $A B$ and $A D$ of the base of a regular quadrilateral pyramid $S A B C D$, a plane is drawn parallel to the median of the lateral face $S D C$, drawn from vertex $D$. Find the area of the section of the pyramid by this plane, if the side of the base of the pyramid is 2, and the lateral edge is 8.
Answer: $S=5 \sqrt{2}$.
