Answer
Given, ADEC and BCFG are squares.
Considering △BCE and FCA we get,
From figure,
∠BCE = ∠BCA + 90
∠ACF = ∠BCA + 90
∠BCE = ∠ACF
AC = CE (Sides of squares are equal)
BC = CF (Sides of squares are equal)
△BCE ≅ △FCA (By SAS axiom).
We know that corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal.
∴ AF = BE.
Hence, proved that AF = BE.
