we can prove it by congruency as
AE=BE(as CE is median)
AD=CD(as BD is median)
Therefore,
in triangle BFC and triangle CDB
BF=CD(proved above)
angle DBC= angle ECB(it is an isocsles triangle and median eill be at same lenghts)
BC=BC(common)
triangle BFC= triangle CDB (by SAS congruence rule)
bd=ce(CPCT)
Hence Proved

Answer:
A simpler way:
In ∆ABC,
AB = AC (given)
=> <ABC = <ACD (opposite sides are equal)
In ∆EBC and ∆DCB,
BC = BC (common side)
<EBC = <DCB ( <ABC = <ACB)
BE = DC (E & D are mid points on AB & AC)
=> ∆EBC is congruent to ∆DCB (by SAS
criteria)
=> BD = CE ( by c.p.c.t ) ( proved!
