尝试解这道题目---**Problem Description:**
如图, 已知△ABC是等腰直角三角形, AB = AC, AD是斜边的中线, E、F分别是AB、AC边上的点, 且DE⊥DF, 若BE=8, CF=6.
**Questions:**
(1)求证: △AED≌△CFD;
(2)求△DEF的面积.
**Diagram Description:**
* **Type:** Geometric figure.
* **Main Elements:**
* A triangle ABC is shown.
* Point D is on the side BC. Line segment AD is drawn from A to D.
* Point E is on the side AB. Line segment DE is drawn.
* Point F is on the side AC. Line segment DF is drawn.
* Line segment EF is drawn.
* **Labels:** Vertices A, B, C and points D, E, F are labeled.
* **Relationships and Properties (based on text and diagram):**
* △ABC is an isosceles right triangle with AB = AC. The right angle is at A (implied by standard convention for isosceles right triangle notation).
* AD is the median to the hypotenuse BC, meaning D is the midpoint of BC.
* E is on AB and F is on AC.
* DE is perpendicular to DF (∠EDF = 90°).
