A Pentahedron over a Square Base

Problem

figure

As shown in the figure, in the pentahedron ABCDEFABCDEF the quadrilateral ABCDABCD is a square, the plane ADEADE is perpendicular to the plane ABCDABCD, and EFABEF\parallel AB, with

AB=ED=2EF=2,EAD=60.AB=ED=2EF=2,\qquad \angle EAD=60^\circ.

Let MM be the midpoint of the edge FCFC.

1. Prove that AFAF\parallel plane MBDMBD.

2. Find the volume of the tetrahedron E-FDBE\text{-}FDB.
