Answer
In a $\triangle\text{ABC},$ if $\text{AB}=\text{AC}$ and $\angle\text{B}=70^\circ$ Since, $\text{AB}=\text{AC }\triangle\text{ABC}$ is an isosceles triangle$\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{C}$ [Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
$\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{C}=70^\circ$
And also, Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°$\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{A}+70^\circ+70^\circ=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{A}=180^\circ-140^\circ$
$\angle\text{A}=40^\circ$
$\angle\text{B}=\angle\text{C}=70^\circ$
And also, Sum of angles in a triangle = 180°$\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{A}+70^\circ+70^\circ=180^\circ$
$\angle\text{A}=180^\circ-140^\circ$
$\angle\text{A}=40^\circ$
