1. **Problem statement:** Determine if triangle BED is equilateral given that angles at B and E adjacent to diagonal BE are 60° each and sides BD and DE are equal.
2. **Given:** \(\angle B = 60^\circ\), \(\angle E = 60^\circ\), and \(BD = DE\).
3. **Recall:** An equilateral triangle has all three sides equal and all three angles equal to 60°.
4. **Analyze triangle BED:** Since \(BD = DE\), triangle BED is isosceles with base BE.
5. **Sum of angles in triangle BED:**
$$\angle B + \angle E + \angle D = 180^\circ$$
6. Substitute known angles:
$$60^\circ + 60^\circ + \angle D = 180^\circ$$
7. Solve for \(\angle D\):
$$\angle D = 180^\circ - 120^\circ = 60^\circ$$
8. **Conclusion:** All three angles in triangle BED are 60°, and since \(BD = DE\), and \(BE\) is the base, the triangle is equilateral because all sides are equal.
**Final answer:** Yes, triangle BED is equilateral.
