The lengths of \(A B\) and \(B C\) are \(2 d\) and \(( 2 \sqrt { 3 } ) d\) respectively, and angles \(B A D\) and \(C B E\) are \(30 ^ { \circ }\) and \(60 ^ { \circ }\) respectively.
  1. Find the length of \(C D\) in terms of \(d\).
  2. Show that angle \(C A D = \tan ^ { - 1 } \left( \frac { 2 } { \sqrt { 3 } } \right)\).
