in an isosceles triangle all of the angles add up to 180 degrees as all triangles do but there is no specific degrees for a isosceles triangle it all depends on the steepness of your lines

both angles at the bottom of the triangle are the same so you only need to know one angle to work out the rest

eg an isosles triangle is shown to you and the peak of the triangle is 80 degrees (the one that id by itself, not the same as another in the triangle)

as yoou know all angles add up to 180 degrees, so you know the other two angles, combined add up to 100 degrees, this divided by 2 equals is 50, so you know that the two bottom Angles are 50 degrees each! :)

also just to remind you-

equilatiral- all lines the same length, all angles 60 degrees

scalene- all line lenths are differen

right angletriangle- a triangle wic contains a right angle in it (which is always opposite to the hypotenuse - longest line of the triangle)

and isosceles which you already know has two lines, and two angles of the same legnth!!

I really hope this helps!! :D
