Problem

In the figure below, $BCDE$ is a parallelogram, points $F$ and $G$ are on the segment $ED$, $BCA$ is a right angled triangle, $AC$ is perpendicular to $BC$.Suppose that $BC=8cm$, $AC=7cm$, and the area of the shaded regions is $12cm^2$ more than that of the triangle $AFG$. What is the length of $CG$?
