Answer:


\angle A=30^\circ\\\angle B=60^\circ\\\angle C=105^\circ

Explanation:

Since
\angle C and
75^\circ are supplementary angles, they add up to
180^\circ. So,
\angle C=180^\circ-75^\circ=105^\circ.

Also, since
\angle A and
30^\circ are vertical angles, they have the same angle measure as the angles are congruent to each other. So,
\angle A=30^\circ.

We can easily figure out
\angle B because we have the measurement of
\angle A and a given right angle, which measures
90^\circ. Thus, by the Triangle Angle-Sum Theorem, all the interior angles of that triangle must add up to
180^\circ, so
\angle A+\angle B+90^\circ=180^\circ must hold true. Hence,
30^\circ+\angle B+90^\circ=180^\circ\rightarrow \angle B=60^\circ.
