  1. DBE = 45° - C, FBE = 45° - C
    =>
    DBE = FBE

  2. < ABD = < BCF = < CBF. But < ABE = < CBE. Hence < DBE = < FBE.

  3. Since BF is median & <BAC=90, we can assume ABC lies on a semi-circle with F as centre
    Let <BAC=<BAF=a, <ABD=90-a
    <ACB=90-a, since FB=FC (radii), <FBC=<FCB=<ACB=90-a
    So, <ABD=<FBC=90-a-------(1)
    <ABE=<EBC (given)--------(2)
    <EBD=<ABE-<ABD
    <EBF=<EBC-<FBC
    By (1) & (2), <EBD=<EBF & BE is the < bisector of <DBF
