Isosceles Triangle Spanning a Rectangle

Problem

figure

As shown in the figure, in rectangle ABCDABCD the points EE and FF lie on sides ABAB and BCBC respectively. Triangle DEFDEF is isosceles with base DEDE, and its altitude FGFG to the base satisfies FG=DEFG = DE. If ADE\triangle ADE and CDF\triangle CDF each have area 2020, find the area of BEF\triangle BEF.
