Consider \Delta ABP  and  \Delta ACP,

(i)   \angle APB\ =\ \angle APC\ =\ 90^{\circ}       (Since it is given that AP is altitude.)

(ii)   AB\ =\ AC                                      (Isosceles triangle)

(iii)   AP\ =\ AP                                     (Common in both triangles)

Thus by RHS axiom we can conclude that :           

           \Delta ABP\ \cong \Delta ACP

Now, by c.p.c.t.we can say that : 

           \angle B\ =\ \angle C
