The measure of the angles are;

angle 1 = 35°

angle 2 = 145°

angle 3 = 55°

angle 4 = 125°

angle 5 = 55°

The diagram consist of two similar triangles

Therefore;

angle 1 = 35° ( corresponding angles)

angle 2 = 180 - angle 1 ( angles on a straight line)

angle 2 = 180 - 35 = 145°

angle 3 = 180 - (90+35)

= 180 - 125 = 55°

angle 4 = 90 + 35( exterior angle theorem)

angle 4 = 125°

angle 5 = angle 3( corresponding angles)

angle 5 = 55°

Generally the sum of angle in a triangle is 180°
