Correct Answer: Isosceles
Solution :
Given: In $\triangle$ABC, BD and CE are perpendicular to AC and AB respectively.
BD = CE
The area of $\triangle ABC$ $=\frac{1}{2}\times{AB}\times {CE}$
The area of $\triangle ABC$ $=\frac{1}{2}\times{AC}\times {BD}$
$⇒\frac{1}{2}\times{AB}\times {CE}=\frac{1}{2}\times{AC}\times {BD}$
AB = AC (since, BD = CE)
So, $\triangle ABC$ is an isosceles triangle.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Isosceles'.
