in triangle c abcd a is y b is 2x and  ac and bc is iscoles trianglr d is 120 then find value of a b and c

Given the problem, it appears you're dealing with a triangle \( ABCD \) where:

1. \( \angle A \) is \( y \),
2. \( \angle B \) is \( 2x \),
3. Triangle \( ABC \) is isosceles with \( AC = BC \),
4. \( \angle D = 120^\circ \).

Let's clarify and solve the problem step by step:

### Understanding the Problem:

- Since \( AC = BC \), it means \( \triangle ABC \) is isosceles with two equal angles. Let's assume these angles are \( \angle A = \angle B = x \).

- The sum of the angles in a triangle is always \( 180^\circ \). Therefore, for \( \triangle ABC \):

\[
\text{Angle } C = 180^\circ - (x + x) = 180^\circ - 2x
\]

- You're given that \( \angle D = 120^\circ \).

Since \( \angle D \) belongs to some other triangle that isn’t directly relevant to solving for \( \angle A \), \( \angle B \), and \( \angle C \) of triangle \( ABC \), we'll focus on \( \triangle ABC \).

### Solving for \( x \):

Given that \( \angle A = y \) and \( \angle B = 2x \), and that \( AC = BC \) making \( \triangle ABC \) isosceles, the equal angles are \( x \) and \( y \).

Since \( \triangle ABC \) is isosceles:

\[
y = 2x \quad (\text{because the two equal angles in an isosceles triangle are equal})
\]

Using the angle sum property in \( \triangle ABC \):

\[
x + 2x + (180^\circ - 3x) = 180^\circ
\]

\[
180^\circ = 180^\circ
\]

This equation suggests that the relationship holds regardless of specific values, implying no direct constraints on \( x \) and \( y \) beyond their initial relationships. However, since the triangle must satisfy typical geometric rules, we use known information:

- \( \angle A = \angle C \) since it's isosceles. Therefore, if \( \angle A = y \), then \( \angle C = y \).
- We have \( y + 2x + y = 180^\circ \).

So:

\[
2y + 2x = 180^\circ
\]

Substituting \( y = 2x \):

\[
2(2x) + 2x = 180^\circ
\]

\[
4x + 2x = 180^\circ
\]

\[
6x = 180^\circ
\]

\[
x = 30^\circ
\]

So:

\[
y = 2x = 60^\circ
\]

Therefore:

\[
\text{Angles are } A = 60^\circ, B = 30^\circ, \text{ and } C = 90^\circ
\]

### Final Values:
- \( \angle A = 60^\circ \)
- \( \angle B = 30^\circ \)
- \( \angle C = 90^\circ \)

These angles would be consistent with the isosceles condition \( AC = BC \), and the triangle is likely a right triangle as \( \angle C = 90^\circ \).
