Answer:
a) they are congruent
b) isosceles; ∠IBC≅∠ICB
Explanation:
a) We are given that ΔABC is isosceles, such that AB≅AC. Points D and E are located so that AD≅AE. Of course, ∠A≅∠A, so ΔACE ≅ ΔABD by SAS. Then angles ABD and ACE are congruent by CPCTC.

b) Angle IBC is the difference between angle ABC and angle ABD. Angle ICB is the difference between angle ACB and angle ACE. These differences are between values that are the same, so the differences are the same. That means ∠IBC≅∠ICB, and ΔIBC is isosceles.
