YES - an isosceles right triangle always a #45^o-45^o-90^o# triangle.

Explanation:

As it is a right angled triangle, one angle is #90^o#.

Hence sum of other two angles is #180^o-90^o=90^o#

As these two angles are equal (the triangle being isoceles), each of the angle is #90^o/2=45^o#.

Hence, an isosceles right triangle always a #45^o-45^o-90^o# triangle.
