THE MEASURES OF TWO SMALLER ANGLES IN A TRIANGLE ARE THE SAME. THE THIRD ANGLE IS TWICE THE MEASURE OF EACH ANGLE.
----------
Let each smaller angle be "x".
Then the largest angle is "2x".
------------
EQUATION:
x + x + 2x = 180
4x = 180
x = 45 degrees (each small angle)
2x = 90 degrees (larger angle)
