BFDE is a square, so triangles AED, ABC and DFC are similar.
So DF = 2*FC.
Then, since DF=FB...
Let CF = x. Then...
DF = 2x
BC = CF+FB = CF+DF = x+2x = 3x
AB=2*BC = 6x
That gives you all the measurements you need to find the areas of all of the figures in the diagram in terms of x; then you will be able to answer the question.
