\\(30^{\circ}\\) and \\(30^{\circ}\\)
\\(20^{\circ}\\) and \\(40^{\circ}\\)
\\(20^{\circ}\\) and \\(20^{\circ}\\)
\\(30^{\circ}\\) and \\(40^{\circ}\\)

Identify properties of the triangle

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &\text{Type: Obtuse isosceles triangle}\\ &\text{Given angle: } 120^\circ \quad (\text{must be the unique obtuse vertex angle})\\ &\text{Base angles: } x, \quad x \quad (\text{equal by isosceles properties}) \end{aligned}$$

\]

Apply the angle sum theorem

\[

$$\begin{aligned} &120^\circ + x + x = 180^\circ\\ &2x = 60^\circ\\ &x = 30^\circ \end{aligned}$$

\]

Determine the other two angles

\[
\text{Other two angles: } 30^\circ \text{ and } 30^\circ
\]
