If follows that
area of ABDE + area of BCFG = area of ACKL.

Prove that the area of ACKL is equal to the sum of the areas of ABDE and BCFG.
PROOF:
Extend LA to intersect ED in I and extend KC to intersect GF in L. Extend HB to intersect AC in M and to intersect LK in N. Since HB is parallel to LA and KC, we now know IL, HN, and LC are parallel.
Then area of ABHI = area of ABDE since AB is the base of each and they have equal heights. Also area BCFG = area of BCLH since BC is the base of each and they have equal heights. Click here to see a visualization that these areas are equal.
Now AL = MN = CK = HB. So area of ALNM = area of ABHI since their bases NM and HB are equal and they have equal heights. Therefore, area of ABDE = area of ALNM.
Also area MNKC = area of BCLH since they have equal bases of HB and MN and also have equal heights. Thus, area BCFG = area of MNKC.
It then follows that
area ACKL = area of ALNM + area of MNKC = area of ABHI + area of ACLH.
