B-------C


Since B is the midpoint of AC, we know that AB = BC = 2.

Since C is the midpoint of AD, we know that AC = CD.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem in triangle ABC, we have:

AB^2 + BC^2 = AC^2

2^2 + 2^2 = AC^2

8 = AC^2

AC = 2√2

Since AC = CD, we have CD = 2√2.

Therefore, the length of CD is 2 units.
