[Hint: Draw a pair of parallel lines and a transversal]

Answer :

Answer:  95 degrees

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

Explanation:

I recommend drawing it out to see what's going on. See the drawing below.

In the diagram, both angles are in the northeast corner of their four-corner configurations. They are both congruent corresponding angles. So that's why the second angle is also 95 degrees.

Side note: we could replace "northeast" with any of the other directions on the compass (such as southwest). All that matters is that they are in the same configuration.
