    the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.. so the sum of the remaining 2 angles is 110 degrees(180-70) ..its said that the two angles differ by 6 degrees... so the other 2 angles are 52deg and 58 deg

    check:70+52+58=180

    The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degree

    let x be the smallest angle

    The other unknown angle will be x + 6

    sum is 180 therefore

    x + x + 6 + 70 = 180

    2x = 104

    x = 52

    The angles are

    52, 58, and 70
