Using the given conditions, consider \Delta BEC   and     \Delta CFB,

(i)  \angle BEC\ =\ \angle CFB                 (Right angle)

(ii)    BC\ =\ BC                              (Common in both the triangles)

(iii)   BE\ =\ CF                             (Given that altitudes are of the same length. )

Thus by RHS axiom, we can say that  :                \Delta BEC\ \cong \Delta CFB

Hence by c.p.c.t.,     \angle B\ =\ \angle C

And thus  AB\ =\ AC      (sides opposite to equal angles are also equal). Thus ABC is an isosceles triangle.
