Correct Answer: equilateral
Solution : AD, BE and CF are the altitudes drawn on sides BC, CA and AB of $\triangle$ABC such that AD = BE = CF. Since area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ × base × corresponding altitude, Area of $\triangle$ABC = $\frac{1}{2}$ × BC × AD = $\frac{1}{2}$ × AB × CF = $\frac{1}{2}$ × CA × BE ⇒ BC × AD = AB × CF = CA × BE Since AD = BE = CF, ⇒ BC = AB = CA ⇒ $\triangle$ABC is an equilateral triangle. Hence, the correct answer is equilateral.
