(1) 证明:
$\because AB // CD,$
$\therefore ∠ ABF = ∠ CDE。$
$\because AF ⊥ AB,$$CE ⊥ CD,$
$\therefore ∠ BAF = ∠ DCE = 90°。$
$\because BE = EF = FD,$
$\therefore BE + EF = FD + EF,$即$BF = DE。$
在$△ ABF$和$△ CDE$中,
$\begin{cases} ∠ ABF = ∠ CDE, \\ ∠ BAF = ∠ DCE, \\ BF = DE, \end{cases}$
$\therefore △ ABF ≌ △ CDE(\mathrm{AAS})。$
(2) 证明:
$\because ∠ ABD = 30°,$$AB // CD,$
$\therefore ∠ CDB = ∠ ABD = 30°。$
$\because ∠ BAF = 90°,$$BE = EF,$
$\therefore AE = \frac{1}{2}BF。$
$\because$ 在$\mathrm{Rt}△ ABF$中,$∠ ABF = 30°,$
$\therefore AF = \frac{1}{2}BF,$
$\therefore AE = AF。$
同理可证$CE = CF。$
$\because △ ABF ≌ △ CDE,$
$\therefore AF = CE,$
$\therefore AE = AF = CE = CF,$即四边形$AECF$的四条边相等。
