证明:
(1)$\because$ 四边形$ABCD$是矩形,
$\therefore AB // CD,$
$\therefore ∠ DEC = ∠ BCE,$
$\because EC$平分$∠ DEB,$
$\therefore ∠ DEC = ∠ BEC,$
$\therefore ∠ BCE = ∠ BEC,$
$\therefore BE = BC,$
$\because$ 矩形$ABCD$中$BC = DC,$
$\therefore DE = DC;$
(2)$\because F$为$CE$的中点,$DE = DC,$
$\therefore DF ⊥ CE,$即$∠ DFC = 90°,$
$\because$ 四边形$ABCD$是矩形,
$\therefore AD = BC,$$∠ ADC = 90°,$
$\therefore ∠ ADF + ∠ FDC = 90°,$$∠ FDC + ∠ DCE = 90°,$
$\therefore ∠ ADF = ∠ DCE,$
又$\because AD = BC = BE,$$DE = DC,$
$\therefore △ ADF ≌ △ BEC$(SAS),
$\therefore ∠ AFD = ∠ BCE,$
$\because ∠ BCE + ∠ DCE = 90°,$$∠ DCE = ∠ DEC,$
$\therefore ∠ AFD + ∠ DEC = 90°,$
$\therefore ∠ AFE + ∠ DEF = 90°,$
$\therefore ∠ AFB = 90°,$即$AF ⊥ BF。$
