Answer:

35 degrees and 50 degrees

Explanation:

The sum of all the angles in a triangle must be 180 degrees. So 180 - 95 = 85 leftover for the other two angles. Since we have a ratio of 7:10, we can add that up to get 17 total pieces of that 85-degree angle. 85 / 17 = 5, so each piece is 5 degrees. Therefore, the other two angles are 7*5 = 35 degrees and 10*5 = 50 degrees.
