Short Answer; it pretty much has to be Isosceles.


Let the smallest angle (represented by 1) be x

Then the other two angles are 2x and 2x


Every triangle has 180o and 3 angles.


x + 2x + 2x = 180

5x = 180 Divide by 5

x = 180/5

x = 36


Therefore the angles are

36

72

72


Two angles are the same. The triangle is Isosceles.
