You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Notice that using triangle RST,
angle R + angle S = 90 degrees, where angle R = 35 degrees.
35 + angle S = 90 degrees

Using triangle THS (I graduated from Tavares High School, so I like this!!)
angle HTS + angle S = 90 degrees.

Therefore angle HTS = 35 degrees.
