2002 AIME I Problem 10

In the diagram below, angle $ABC$ is a right angle. Point $D$ is on $\overline{BC}$ , and $\overline{AD}$ bisects angle $CAB$ . Points $E$ and $F$ are on $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{AC}$ , respectively, so that $AE=3$ and $AF=10$ . Given that $EB=9$ and $FC=27$ , find the integer closest to the area of quadrilateral $DCFG$ .

[asy] size(250); pair A=(0,12), E=(0,8), B=origin, C=(24*sqrt(2),0), D=(6*sqrt(2),0), F=A+10*dir(A--C), G=intersectionpoint(E--F, A--D); draw(A--B--C--A--D^^E--F); pair point=G+1*dir(250); label("$A$", A, dir(point--A)); label("$B$", B, dir(point--B)); label("$C$", C, dir(point--C)); label("$D$", D, dir(point--D)); label("$E$", E, dir(point--E)); label("$F$", F, dir(point--F)); label("$G$", G, dir(point--G)); markscalefactor=0.1; draw(rightanglemark(A,B,C)); label("10", A--F, dir(90)*dir(A--F)); label("27", F--C, dir(90)*dir(F--C)); label("3", (0,10), W); label("9", (0,4), W); [/asy]

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
