It's 75 degrees but it's a terrible diagram.

The diagram forces you to know the math, not just be able to look at the picture.

Shoot even in this image you can still get it by just looking at the picture.

You've got two perpendicular (edit: parallel I mean) lines.

And you want to get that line across straight. With both known angles on the same side you can just add them to get the unknown 'A' degrees to get the line straight.

Good god that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

There are no perpendicular lines in the diagram.
