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'.
