I'm sightly confused on how to get the answer, so if you could can you explain to me how to find it?
The question is :In triangle ABC, if line segment , AB is congruent to line segment AC and the measure of angle A is 70 degrees, find the measure of B.
Thank You!

Since AB = AC, angle B = angle C
Angle A = 70
The sum of all 3 angles A + B + C = 180
Since B = C:
A + B + B = 180
70 + 2B = 180
2B = 110
B = 55
So angle B = 55 and angle C = 55:
55 + 55 + 70 = 180
Best of luck!
