since it's an isosceles triangle, two of the angles have to be equal.

the sum of the angles of any triangle is 180 degrees.

180 - 28 = 152

152 / 2 = 76.

the angles of the triangle are 28, 76, 76.

their sum is 180, as it should be.

------------
It can be 28, 76 & 76
or 28, 28 & 124
------------
"the smallest" implies that only 1 angle is 28, tho.
