2005 AMC 10B Problem 14

Equilateral \triangle ABC has side length 2, M is the midpoint of \overline{AC}, and C is the midpoint of \overline{BD}. What is the area of \triangle CDM? [asy]defaultpen(linewidth(.8pt)+fontsize(8pt)); pair B = (0,0); pair A = 2*dir(60); pair C = (2,0); pair D = (4,0); pair M = midpoint(A--C); label("$A$",A,NW);label("$B$",B,SW);label("$C$",C, SE);label("$M$",M,NE);label("$D$",D,SE); draw(A--B--C--cycle); draw(C--D--M--cycle);[/asy]\textrm{(A)}\ \frac {\sqrt {2}}{2}\qquad \textrm{(B)}\ \frac {3}{4}\qquad \textrm{(C)}\ \frac {\sqrt {3}}{2}\qquad \textrm{(D)}\ 1\qquad \textrm{(E)}\ \sqrt {2}
