    135 is correct. Bottom intersection is 80/100, 180-35-100 = 45 for the top of the second triangle. 180 - 45 = 135

          Random woman who didn’t sleep very well last night. I got a different answer, then thought about it for 10 more seconds and then got 135.

          (No I didn’t assume the right angle, my mistake was even dumber. I need a nap.)

      You’re making the assumption that the straight line consisting of the bottom edge of both triangles is made of supplementary angles. This is not defined due to the nature of the image not being to scale.

      When you’re finding the outside angle along the line of a triangle you don’t need the inside angle tied to that outside angle if you have the other two inside angles since both straight lines and triangles total to 180 degrees.
