Triangle FGH is equilateral. The midpoints of the sides are connected to form triangle XYZ. Line segment XY is parallel to line

segment FH.
Triangle F G H is an equilateral triangle. Equilateral triangle X Y Z is inside of triangle F G H and the points are the midpoints of triangle F G H.

Answer:

Isosceles trapezoid

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure will look like one large triangle on the outside and four smaller triangles on the inside. you are only concerned with the inside triangle that is pointing to the line FH. Since XY and FH are parallel and the distance between FX and YH are equivalent (the midpoints of each side should be the same for all three sides of the larger triangle) the shape FXYH is an isosceles trapezoid.
