Given two isosceles right triangles $( \triangle ABC )$ and $( \triangle BDE )$ with $( \angle BAC = \angle BDE = 90^\circ )$, triangle $( \triangle BDE )$ is rotated counterclockwise by an angle $( \gamma ) (where ( 0^\circ < \gamma < 360^\circ ))$ about point $( B )$. Point $( E )$ is then connected to point $( C )$, and $( F )$ is the midpoint of segment $( EC )$. It appears that segments $( AF )$ and $( DF )$ are always perpendicular and equal in length regardless of the rotation angle $( \gamma )$.
Here is a diagram to illustrate the problem:
I am looking for a proof of why $( AF \perp DF )$ and $( AF = DF )$ hold true for any rotation angle $( \gamma )$.
What I've considered so far:
- Since both triangles are isosceles right triangles, their properties might be useful.
- The rotation of $( \triangle BDE )$ around point $( B )$ does not change the relative properties of points $( D )$ and $( E )$.
I need help with a formal proof to show that $( AF )$ and $( DF )$ are always perpendicular and equal in length regardless of $( \gamma )$. How can we approach this problem?
