Answer:

65

Explanation:

If 2 shapes are similar then they have congruent angles. Since we already know the right angle is 90 degrees x must be 25 or 65 degrees. The missing angle is in between the shortest leg and the hypotenuse, in the other triangle, the angle between the shortest leg and hypotenuse is 65 degrees. So the final answer is 65.
