Notation: Given AE = 3 cm, AB = 8 cm, F = 26 cm^2, then DC = ?, DE = ?, AD = ?

[Adamantine Chains]

I have the following question:

AE = 3 cm, AB = 8 cm, F = 26 cm^2

DC = ?, DE = ?, AD = ?

(there is a line above AE, AB, etc.)

I am fairly sure that AE, AB, etc., are line segments; but what is F?

(Not asking for a solution to the problem; only want to know what F stands for, and perhaps what object is being dealt with here.)

Is there a diagram to go with this problem? By the units, F is obviously an area, but a diagram is needed.
