Answer:

Then angles
\angle B and
\angle C both measure
55^o

Explanation:

Notice that if sides AB and AC are equal, then the angles opposed to them (that is angle
\angle C and angle
\angle B respectively) have to be equal since equal sides oppose equal angles in a triangle.

So you also know that the addition of the three angles in a triangle must equal
180^o, then:


\angle A + \angle B+\angle C= 180^o\\70^o+\angle B + \angle B = 180^o\\2\,\angle B = 180^o-70^o\\2 \angle B=110^o\\\angle B=55^o\\\angle C = 55^o
