Answer:

  92°

Step-by-step explanation:

If the third angle is 48° larger than either of the other two congruent angles, then the angle total in the triangle will be ...

  x +(x -48) +(x -48) = 180 . . . . . where x is the largest angle

  3x -96 = 180 . . . . . . collect terms

  x -32 = 60 . . . . . . divide by 3

  x = 92 . . . . . . . . add 32

The largest angle in the triangle is 92°.

_____

The other two angles are 44° each.
