\angle FCA = \angle BCE  [both 90]
By adding \angleABC  on both sides we get
\angleABC + \angleFCA = \angleABC + \angleBCE
\angleFCB = \angleACE

In \DeltaFCB and \DeltaACE
FC = AC [sides of square]
BC = AC [sides of square]
\angleFCB = \angleACE
\Rightarrow 
\DeltaFCB  \cong  \DeltaACE

Hence proved
