Then you'll notice that you subtracted one extra area, which is BFGI.
So add it back.
Area of rectangle ACDJ = AC × CD
= 18cm × 7.2cm
= 129.6cm²
Area of △ABE = ½ × base × height
= ½ × 12cm × 7.2cm
= 43.2cm²
Area of △BCH = ½ × base × height
= ½ × 6cm × 7.2cm
= 21.6cm²
Shaded area = area ACDJ - area ABE - area BCH + area BFGI
= 129.6cm² - 43.2cm² - 21.6cm² + 21cm
= 85.8cm²
