let the isosceles triangle be named as ABC where AB=BC and let D , E and F be the midpoints of sides AB, BC and CA respectively.
now, F and E are midpoints => FE || AB and FE= 1/2 of AB.
similarly, D and F are midpoints => DF || BC and DF=1/2 of BC = 1/2 of AB {Since AB=BC}
therefore, in triangle DEF - EF=DF=1/2 of AB
therefore triangle DEF is also isosceles.
