请给一名小学2年级学生讲解这道题。她不会做。---**Question Stem:**
求长方形 ABCD 的面积
**Chart/Diagram Description:**
* **Type:** Geometric figure.
* **Main Elements:**
* A rectangle labeled ABCD. Vertices are labeled A (top left), B (bottom left), C (bottom right), D (top right).
* Points E and F are located on the top side AD of the rectangle, with E to the left of F.
* Point G is located above the rectangle.
* Three triangles are formed and colored:
* Triangle ABE (colored green) with the number 6 inside it.
* Triangle EFG (colored blue) with the number 8 inside it.
* Triangle FCD (colored orange) with the number 12 inside it.
* Lines are drawn connecting A-B, B-C, C-D, D-A (forming the rectangle).
* Lines are drawn connecting A-E, E-B (forming triangle ABE).
* Lines are drawn connecting E-G, G-F, F-E (forming triangle EFG).
* Lines are drawn connecting F-C, C-D (forming triangle FCD). Note that FD is also a side of triangle FCD.
* Lines are drawn connecting G-A and G-D (not part of the colored triangles, but show G's relation to A and D).
* Areas of the three colored triangles are given: Area(△ABE) = 6, Area(△EFG) = 8, Area(△FCD) = 12.
* The question asks for the area of rectangle ABCD.
