The only right isosceles triangle has #45^circ#angles so this is an impossible triangle. No real triangle has congruent sides opposite different angles -- Law of Sines.

Impossible triangle- see below

Explanation:

This triangle can't exist, because for all #30-60-90# triangles, the side lengths are given by

#color(blue)(x: xsqrt3): color(plum)(2x)#

where the blue expressions represent the side lengths and the plum expression represents the hypotenuse.

The only right triangle that can have two sides of equal length is the #45-45-90# triangle, where the lengths are given by

#x:x:xsqrt2#
