Step-by-step explanation:
In right-angle triangles BCE and CBF, we have,
BC = BC (common hypotenuse);
BE = CF (given).
Hence BCF and CBF are congruent, by RHS theorem. Comparing the triangles, we get ∠B=∠C.
This implies that
AC = AB (sides opposite to equal angles).
Similarly,
AD=BE⇒∠B=∠A
⇒AC=BC
Together, we get AB=BC=ACor △ABC is equilateral. [henceproved]

Step-by-step explanation:
In ΔBCF andΔCBE,
∠BFC=∠CEB (Each 90º)
Hyp. BC= Hyp. BC (Common Side)
Side FC= Side EB (Given)
∴ By R.H.S. criterion of congruence, we have
ΔBCF≅ΔCBE
∴∠FBC=∠ECB (CPCT)
In ΔABC,
∠ABC=∠ACB
[∵∠FBC=∠ECB]
∴AB=AC (Converse of isosceles triangle theorem)
∴ ΔABC is an isosceles triangle
