The area of triangle CFD is 3/32 * sqrt(2)
Since E is the midpoint of BD, we have EB = EA = 1/2.
Since F is the midpoint of ED, we have EF = FD = 1/4.
Since triangle CFD is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean Theorem to find CF.
CF^2 = CD^2 - FD^2
CF^2 = (1/2)^2 - (1/4)^2
CF^2 = 3/16
CF = sqrt(3/16)
CF = 3/4 * sqrt(2)
The area of triangle CFD is 1/2 * CF * FD
The area of triangle CFD is 1/2 * (3/4 * sqrt(2)) * (1/4)
The area of triangle CFD is 3/32 * sqrt(2)
So the answer is 3/32 * sqrt(2)
