There is only one pair of equal angles, so the number of triples which are isosceles is 3
that is, 23 23 35, 23 23 41, and 23 23 113

total number of triplets:
1. 23 not in the triple --- 1
2. one 23 --- choose 2 from the remaining 3 , C(3,2) = 3
3. two 23's --- 3
a total of 7

here they are
35 41 113
23 35 41, 23 35 113, 23 41 113
23 23 35, 23 23 41, 23 23 113

prob of your event = 3/7
