Does anyone know how to prove that the triangles formed by a rectangle inside a square are isosceles?They might not always be like that so what are the conditions for it to be true?

I can't attach images since I just made this account
The figure would basically be Square with Rectangle inside,positioned diagonally.Heres a reference,ignore the length of the sides because they're not given.All i could demonstrate was that the small triangles are congruent,and the big ones too.But I need them to be isosceles too.And for them tobe isosceles then the angles need to be 90°,45°,45° which isn't given so I'm honestly starting to think its impossible to solve it with this little information
(add the security thing here cus i can'tadd it,(h double t and p))://images.app.goo.gl/9MTcXDij2m7Y7YEfA
