Answer

Equilateral triangle

Work Step by Step

$\angle$ADE=$\frac{1}{2}$$\angle$D $\angle$A+$\angle$D=180 $\angle$A+$\angle$ADE+$\angle$AED=180 $\angle$A+$\frac{1}{2}$$\angle$D+$\angle$AED=180 $\angle$A+$\frac{1}{2}$$\angle$D+$\angle$AED=$\angle$A+$\angle$D $\angle$AED=$\frac{1}{2}$$\angle$D Since two angles have a measure equal to half of angle D, it must be an equilateral triangle.
