Answer:

a = 35°

b = 55°

c = 110°

Explanation:

Vertically opposite angles are equal.

a = 35° [Vertically opposite angles]

Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°.

a + b + 90° = 180° [Angles of a triangle]

=> 35° + b + 90° = 180°

=> 35° + b = 180° - 90°

=> 35° + b = 90°

=> b = 90° - 35°

=> b = 55°

Linear pair of angles are supplementary.

c + 70° = 180° [Linear pair of angles]

=> c = 180° - 70°

=> c = 110°
