The angle formed by Main St and Oak St is opposite of the 35 degree angle. By the Vertical Angles Theorem, vertical (opposite) angles are congruent.

Using this theorem, we can infer from the diagram that the angle formed by Main St and Oak St is 35 degrees because the 35 degree angle and the formed angle are vertical angles.

Your answer is D) 35°.
