Answer:
Consider triangles BEC and BFC
EC=BF (Equal altitudes: Given)
∠BEC=∠BFC=90 (BE and BF are Altitudes)
BC = BC (common)
△BEC≅△BFC (RHS postulate)
∠ABC=∠BCA (Corresponding angles)
Consider the △ ADB and △ ADC
∠ADB=∠ADC=90 (AD is Altitude)
AD = AD (common)
∠ABC=∠BCA
Thus, △ADB≅△ADC (ASA postulate)
AB =AC (Corresponding sides are equal)
BC= AC (Similarly, we can prove △BFC≅△BFA)
Thus, AB=AC=BC
