Angle CBA = 25 degrees given
Angle CED=25 degrees corresponding angles are equal
Angles BAC and EDC are supplementary
Angle BAC=125 degrees so Angle EDC=55 degrees
Angle ACB is the third angle in a triangle
ANGLE CED + Angle EDC + Angle ACB = 180 degrees
25 degrees + 55 degrees + Angle ACB = 180 degrees
Angle ACB = 100 degrees
