Consider triangles BEC and CDB
<E=<D
BD=EC (given)
BC=BC (common)
hence,triangle (BEC=CDB) by RHS congruence criteria
i.e.<B=<C
so, AC=AB, (sides opposite to equal angles are equal)
thus,it is proved that ABC is an isosceles triangle

In triangles BEC and BDC,
BC is common
BD = CE (given)
<CEB = <BDC
Thus triangles BEC and BDC are congruent.
or, <ABC = <ACB (cpct)
Therefore, AB = AC (Opposite sides of equal angles are equal)
So, we can say that ABC is isosceles.
Hope that helps !!
