证明:
(1) $\because AB ⊥ DB, AC ⊥ EC,$
$\therefore ∠ ABD = ∠ ACE = 90°,$
$\therefore △ ABD$和$△ ACE$均是直角三角形。
在$\mathrm{Rt}△ ABD$和$\mathrm{Rt}△ ACE$中,
$\begin{cases} AD=AE, \\ AB=AC, \end{cases}$
$\therefore \mathrm{Rt}△ ABD ≌ \mathrm{Rt}△ ACE \ (\mathrm{HL}),$
$\therefore ∠ ADB = ∠ AEC。$
(2) $\because \mathrm{Rt}△ ABD ≌ \mathrm{Rt}△ ACE,$
$\therefore ∠ BAD = ∠ CAE,$
$\therefore ∠ BAD - ∠ BAC = ∠ CAE - ∠ BAC,$即$∠ CAD = ∠ BAE。$
在$△ ACD$和$△ ABE$中,
$\begin{cases} AC=AB, \\ ∠ CAD = ∠ BAE, \\ AD=AE, \end{cases}$
$\therefore △ ACD ≌ △ ABE \ (\mathrm{SAS}),$
$\therefore CD=BE。$
