The angels 60, a, and 55 are supplementary, meaning they add up to 180 degrees.

Therefore we have


60+a+55=180

Solving for a gives us


\textcolor{#FF7968}{a=65.}

Now, we know that the sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees; therefore,


a+b+90=180

since a = 65, we have


65+b+90=180

solving for b gives us


\textcolor{#FF7968}{b=25.}

The angle c is opposite the angle b; therefore, it is


\textcolor{#FF7968}{c=25.}

Angles d and 15 are complementary meaning they add up to 90; therefore, we have


15+d=90
\textcolor{#FF7968}{\therefore d=75}
