$${AC}=\sqrt{\mathrm{5}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{3}^{\mathrm{2}} }=\mathrm{4} \\ $$$${AE}={BE}=\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$${DG}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}×{AE}=\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$$${CG}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}×{CE}=\frac{\mathrm{1}}{\mathrm{4}}×\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{8}} \\ $$$$\frac{{DF}}{{DB}}=\frac{{GE}}{{GB}}=\frac{\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}}−\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{8}}}{\mathrm{5}−\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{8}}}=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{7}} \\ $$$$\left[\Delta{AEB}\right]=\frac{\left[\Delta{ABC}\right]}{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{4}}{\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\left[\Delta{ADB}\right]=\frac{\mathrm{3}×\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\left[\Delta{ADF}\right]=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{7}}×\left[{ADB}\right]=\frac{\mathrm{27}}{\mathrm{14}} \\ $$$${white}\:{area}=\frac{\mathrm{27}}{\mathrm{14}}+\mathrm{3}=\frac{\mathrm{69}}{\mathrm{14}} \\ $$

$${alternative}: \\ $$$${A}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{0}\right) \\ $$$${E}\left(\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}},\mathrm{2}\right) \\ $$$${D}\left(\mathrm{0},\mathrm{3}\right) \\ $$$${eqn}.\:{of}\:{AE}: \\ $$$${y}=\frac{\mathrm{4}{x}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$${eqn}.\:{of}\:{BD}: \\ $$$${y}=\mathrm{3}−{x} \\ $$$${intersection}\:{point}\:{F}: \\ $$$${y}=\frac{\mathrm{4}{x}}{\mathrm{3}}=\mathrm{3}−{x} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow{x}=\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{7}},\:{y}=\frac{\mathrm{12}}{\mathrm{7}} \\ $$$$\left[\Delta{AEB}\right]=\frac{\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$$\left[\Delta{ADF}\right]=\frac{\mathrm{3}}{\mathrm{2}}×\frac{\mathrm{9}}{\mathrm{7}}=\frac{\mathrm{27}}{\mathrm{14}} \\ $$$${white}\:{area}=\mathrm{3}+\frac{\mathrm{27}}{\mathrm{14}}=\frac{\mathrm{69}}{\mathrm{14}}\:\checkmark \\ $$
