AD, BEandCF, the altitudes oftriangle ABCare equal. Prove thatABCis an equilateral triangle.

Answer» `In /_ADC and /_BEC`
`/_D=/_E`(each 90)
AD=BE(given)
`/_C=/_C`(common)
`/_ADC cong /_BEC)(A A S)`
`AC=BC`-(1)
`In /_ADB and /_CFB`
`/_D=/_F`(each 90)
`AD=CF`(given)
`/_B=/_B`(common)
`/_ADB cong /_CFB`(AAS)
AB=CB-(2)
from equation 1 and 2
`AB=BC=AC`
Hence,`/_ABC` is equilateral.
