It can. An example of an isosceles triangle without any angles greater than 90 would be an equilateral triangle, with all angles equalling 60 degrees. An example with an angle greater than 90 would be a triangle with angles of 100 degrees, 40 degrees and 40 degrees.
You couldn't have an isosceles triangle with 2 angles greater than or equal to 90, as all the angles sum to 180 degrees.

What is an isosceles triangle with angles greater than 90?
In one triangle, there can only be one angle greater than 90 degrees. With that restriction, then the other two angles split the remaining 90 degrees between them. If the split is even, then the triangle is isosceles. There's nothing mysterious or special about it.
Has an isosceles triangle have an obtuse angle?
Not necessarily. The two equal angles in an isosceles triangle must both be acute angles. If they were right angles or obtuse angles then a triangle could not be formed. If the two equal angles are less than 45° each then the third angle is an obtuse angle. If they are both 45° then the third angle is a right angle and if they are both greater than 45° then the third angle is an acute angle.
What is the name of the triangle that is greater than 90 degrees?
A triangle that has an angle greater than 90o is an obtuse triangle.
A base angle of an isosceles triangle is 6 degrees more than the vertex angle. Find the vertex angle?
56 degrees
What are the kind of triangle?
Triangles can be classified based on their sides and angles. Based on sides, triangles can be equilateral (all sides are equal), isosceles (two sides are equal), or scalene (no sides are equal). Based on angles, triangles can be acute (all angles are less than 90 degrees), obtuse (one angle is greater than 90 degrees), or right (one angle is exactly 90 degrees).
