Answer:according to isosceles traingle property equal sides have equal opposite angles
therefore, ∠ABC = ∠ACB (1)
dividing both angles by 2 .....∠ABC /2= ∠ACB/2
then, ∠DBC = ∠ECB (since BD and CE are angle bisectors which means it divides the triangle into two equal halves) (2)
given, AB = AC (3)
now in triangle EBC and DCB
BC = BC (common base)
∠EBC = ∠DCB ( by 1)
∠BCE = ∠DBC ( by 2 )
then by ASA congruence criterion, we have ΔEBC ≅ ΔDCB
CE = BD [∵ Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal] or, BD = CE ∴
