The word isosceles is pronounced "eye-sos-ell-ease" with the emphasis on the 'sos'. It is any+triangle that has+%96two-+sides-+the+%96same-+length.
If all+three+sides are the same+length it is called an equilateral+triangle. Obviously all equilateral triangles also have all the properties of an isosceles triangle.
Properties
1. The unequal+side of an isosceles triangle is usually referred to as the 'base' of the triangle.
2. The base+angles of an isosceles triangle are+always+equal.
3. When the 3rd angle is a right+angle, it is called a "right-+isosceles-+triangle".

So, the answer to your question will be:
An isosceles triangle will sometimes have a right angle.
