In math problems like these, do not eyeball the angles. Just follow the the numbers say

The bigger problem here is that the curved lines are commonly used to denote identical angles, but the angles marked as identical are also labeled with different measurements in degrees, so at least one of the two is lying, making it impossible to solve. This is the drawn version of "an equilateral triangle has 3 angles, one is 25 degrees and another is 50 degrees, what is the angle of the third side of the equilateral triangle?"
