Pretty easy math question?

If there's an isoceles triangle with the two legs being 6 inches and the base being 12 inches, what would the angle measurements be? Thanks!

Update:

Wow... I didn't even realize that the triangle couldn't be real. I'll make sure to point that out to my geometry teacher tomorrow xP thanks!

    The longest leg of any triangle must be less than the sum of the other two legs.

    This triangle does not exist.

    Trick question...

    What do u mean by legs? If they are perpendiculars from the two end points of base on opposite sides then, we have, each base angle = 30. This is so because the leg 6 inches is (1/2) of the base which is hypotenuse. So the angle measurements are 30, 30 and the vertical angle 120.

    45, 45 and 90 degrees
