25 \(ABD\) is a right angled triangle.

Right-angled triangle ABD with the right angle at D and C on BD; AD = root 2 over 2 and CD = root 3 over 3; triangle ABC is shaded

Diagram NOT accurately drawn

All measurements are given in centimetres.

\(C\) is the point on \(BD\) such that \(CD = \dfrac{\sqrt{3}}{3}\)

\(AD = BD = \dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\)

Work out the exact area, in cm\(^2\), of the shaded region. (3)
