Answer: 55 degrees

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B represent the unmarked angle on the left between angle A and the 145 degree angle.

Angle B and the 145 degree angle form a straight line of 180 degrees

B+145 = 180

B = 180-145

B = 35

Then use the fact that angles A and B form a 90 degree angle

A+B = 90

A+35 = 90

A = 90-35

A = 55
