  1. AC meet BD on G, draw OM perpendicular to BD
    ▲OMG ~ ▲GFC => MF/GM = R/OG
    ▲OMG ~ ▲AEG => EM/GM = R/OG
    => EM = MF
    => BE = FD

  2. Let M and N are the projection of O over BC and AD.
    Note that M and N are the midpoints of BC and AD and MO=1/2 AB , NO=1/2CD
    Triangle DFC similar to triangle OMC ( angle COM= angle CDF)
    And DF= CD.OM/CO= ½.CD.AB/CO

    Triangle ABF similar to triangle AON ( Angle AON= angle ABE)
    And BE=AB.ON/AO=1/2. AB.CD/AO

    so DF=BE

  3. triangle ABE ~ triangle ACD
    (angle D = angle E = 90, angle ABE = angle ACD)
    which implies AB/AC = BE/CD or AB. CD = AC. BE
    similarly triangle CDF ~ triangle CAB
    which implies CD/CA = DF/AB or AB. CD = AC. DF
    from the above two relations we get
    AB. CD = AC. DF = AC. BE which implies that
    BE = DF
    Q. E. D.

  4. Problem 530
    Draw DM perpendicular in AB(the point M belongs to the AB).Si DM intersects AE at N, then the point N is orthocenter the triangle ABD.Then BN is perpendicular in AD or
    BN//CD and DN//BC so the BCDN is parallelogram.So BN=CD and <BNE=<FCD (NE//FC ).
    Then triangle BNE= triangle FCD.Therefore BE=FD.
