As shown in the figure, rectangular paper ABCD, ab = 2, ∠ ADB = 30 ° is folded along the diagonal BD (so that △ abd and △ EBD fall in the same plane), then the distance between a and E is___ .

As shown in the figure, rectangular paper ABCD, ab = 2, ∠ ADB = 30 ° is folded along the diagonal BD (so that △ abd and △ EBD fall in the same plane), then the distance between a and E is___ .

As shown in the figure, if the diagonals of rectangle ABCD intersect at point F and connect EF and AE, AF = FC = EF = FD = BF. ∵ ∵ ADB = 30 °, ∵ CFD = ∵ EFD = ∵ AFB = 60 °, △ AFE and △ AFB are equilateral triangles, AE = AF = AB = 2
