alternative:  A(0,0)  E((3/2),2)  D(0,3)  eqn. of AE:  y=((4x)/3)  eqn. of BD:  y=3−x  intersection point F:  y=((4x)/3)=3−x  ⇒x=(9/7), y=((12)/7)  [ΔAEB]=((2×3)/2)=3  [ΔADF]=(3/2)×(9/7)=((27)/(14))  white area=3+((27)/(14))=((69)/(14)) ✓

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