Problem

figure

In the triangular prism ABC-A1B1C1ABC\text{-}A_1B_1C_1, the lateral face ABB1A1ABB_1A_1 is perpendicular to the base ABCABC, with AB=BB1=2AB=BB_1=2, AC=23AC=2\sqrt3 and B1BA=60\angle B_1BA=60^\circ. Let DD be the midpoint of edge A1B1A_1B_1, and let EE be the point on edge BCBC with BC=4BE\overrightarrow{BC}=4\overrightarrow{BE}. Suppose DEBCDE\perp BC.

1. Prove that ACBB1AC\perp BB_1. 2. Find the sine of the angle between line BB1BB_1 and plane DEA1DEA_1.
