Answer:

∠KSO = 135°

Step-by-step explanation:

On a parallelogram, the opposite angles have the same measure. It means that the measure of ∠R is:

∠R = ∠C

∠R = 70°

On the other hand, the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is equal to 180°, so we can calculate the measure of ∠RSO as:

∠RSO = 180 - ∠ROS - ∠R

∠RSO = 180 - 65 - 70

∠RSO = 45°

Because the angles RSO, ROS, and R form the triangle ROS.

Finally, ∠RSO and ∠KSO form a straight line, so their sum is equal to 180°. Then, we can calculate ∠KSO as:

∠KSO = 180 - ∠RSO

∠KSO = 180 - 45

∠KSO = 135°

Then, the answer is 135°
