| Let the length of the base AC = X cm.
Since BD is the median of the ABC triangle, then AD = CD = X / 2 cm.
By condition, the length of the median BD = AC / 2 = X / 2 cm.
Since the ABC triangle is isosceles, then its median BD is also its height, and then the BCD triangle is rectangular, whose legs are equal, SD = BD = X / 2.
Hence the acute angles of the triangle are 45.
Angle ВСD = CBD = 45
The median ВD is also the bisector of the ABC angle, then the ABC angle = 2 * CBD = 2 * 45 = 90.
Answer: Angle ABC is 90.
