The angle formed by the hands would be 120 degrees
So the other angles of the would be 30 degrees each in the isosceles triangle
so we now have one side 24 cm and the three angles
so we can use ASA
Uses law of sines to determine unknown sides then Heron's formula and trigonometric functions to calculate area and other properties of given triangle.

Obtuse isosceles triangle.
Sides: a = 13.856 b = 13.856 c = 24
Area: T = 83.138
Perimeter: p = 51.713
Semiperimeter: s = 25.856
Angle ∠ A = α = 30� = 0.524 rad
Angle ∠ B = β = 30� = 0.524 rad
Angle ∠ C = γ = 120� = 2.094 rad
Height: ha = 12
Height: hb = 12
Height: hc = 6.928
Median: ma = 18.33
Median: mb = 18.33
Median: mc = 6.928
Inradius: r = 3.215
Circumradius: R = 13.856
Vertex coordinates: A[24; 0] B[0; 0] C[12; 6.928]
Centroid: CG[12; 2.309]
Coordinates of the circumcenter: U[12; -6.928]
