2x+2x+12=180
4x=168
x=42 degrees
2x+12=96 degrees
Answer by sudhanshu_kmr(1152) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Let equal angles are x, x and other is y.
according to question
y = 2x +12

now add all angles,
x + x + y = 180
=> x + x + 2x +12 = 180
=> 4x + 12 = 180
=> 4x = 180-12

=> x = 168/4 = 42
then y= 2*42+12 = 96

so, angles of isosceles triangle are 42, 42 and 96.
