An isosceles right triangle is a 45° 45° 90° triangle. If you know how to construct a right angle (two lines that are perpendicular), then just take a compass, with the point on the intersection of the perpendicular lines, and mark the same distance on each of the perpendicular lines, then use a straight edge to connect those two points.
Or, if you have a square, you can connect two of opposite corners with a diagonal and you will have 2 triangles, both of them isosceles right triangles.

What triangle has one right angle and can be an isosceles?
A triangle that has one right angle and is isosceles is called an isosceles right triangle.
How many pairs of perpendicular lines does an isosceles triangle have?
There can be only one pair of perpendicular lines in an isosceles triangle when it is a right angled isosceles triangle. A non right angled isosceles triangle has no pairs of perpendicular lines.
Does the Pythagorean theorem work on isosceles triangles?
it depens if the isosceles triangle is a right triangle or not
Can you draw a obtuse isosceles triangle is it possible?
It's impossible.
Does an isosceles triangle have a 90 degree angle?
An isosceles triangle can have a 90 degree angle, but doesn't necessarily. Similarly, a right triangle can be an isosceles triangle, but isn't necessarily.
