证明:
(1) 连接DE。
$\because CD$是边AB上的高,
$\therefore ∠ ADC = 90°。$
$\because BE$是边AC上的中线,
$\therefore AE=CE,$
$\therefore DE$是$\mathrm{Rt}△ ADC$斜边上的中线,
$\therefore DE=CE=AE。$
$\because BD=CE,$
$\therefore BD=DE,$
$\therefore$ 点D在BE的垂直平分线上。
(2) $\because DE=AE,$
$\therefore ∠ A = ∠ ADE。$
$\because BD=DE,$
$\therefore ∠ DBE = ∠ DEB。$
$\because ∠ ADE$是$△ DBE$的外角,
$\therefore ∠ ADE = ∠ DBE + ∠ DEB = 2∠ DBE,$
$\therefore ∠ A = 2∠ ABE。$
$\because ∠ BEC$是$△ ABE$的外角,
$\therefore ∠ BEC = ∠ A + ∠ ABE,$
$\therefore ∠ BEC = 3∠ ABE$
