Let the shorter diagonal be x, then
x^2 = 6^2 + 10^2 - 2 x 6 x 10 x cos 70 = 36 + 100 - 120 cos 70 = 136 - 41.04 = 94.96
x = sqrt(94.96) = 9.7 cm

The other angle of the parallelogram is 1/2(360 - 2(70)) = 1/2(360 - 140) = 1/2(220) = 110
Let the longer diagonal be y, then
y^2 = 6^2 + 10^2 - 2 x 6 x 10 x cos 110 = 36 + 100 - 120 cos 110 = 136 + 41.04 = 177.04
y = sqrt(177.04) = 13.3 cm.

Therefore, the length of the diagonals are 9.7 cm and 13.3 cm.
