In a isosceles triangle the angles opposite to equal.
Therefore angle ABC=ACB
ABC+CBD=180°
ACB+BCE=180°
CBD=180°- ABC
BCE=180° - ACB
CBD=BCE (ABC=ACB therefore subtracting from 180 the difference is same)
In a triangle there cannot be 2 angles having measuring 90° or more.
So the angles are acute and since the angles are acute their linear pairs are obtuse
Therefore angle ABC=ACB
ABC+CBD=180°
ACB+BCE=180°
CBD=180°- ABC
BCE=180° - ACB
CBD=BCE (ABC=ACB therefore subtracting from 180 the difference is same)
