We should assume that #FG# #||# #CE#, #AB=AI# and #AG=AI#.
Otherwise, the problem is not properly defined.
#x=16#
#y=12#
Area=#896#

Explanation:

From the right triangle #Delta CDE#, using Pythagorean Theorem,
#CD = sqrt(20^2-12^2)=16#

From this follows that #x=AG=AB=CD=16#

Hence,
#y=AD-12-x=40-12-16=12#

Area:
#40*16+16*16=896#
