All triangles have angles that sum to 180 degrees.
So,
Angle C = 180 - 35 - 40
Angle C = 105 degrees

we know that

If triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF

then

the corresponding angles are equal

∠A=∠D=
35\°

∠B=∠E=
40\°

∠C=∠F

The sum of the internal angles of a triangle is equal to
180\°

so

In the triangle ABC

∠A+∠B+∠C=
180\°

Substitute the values and solve for ∠C

∠C=
180\°-35\°-40\°=105\°

therefore

the answer is

The measure of angle C is
105\°
