#color(blue)(ChatAD = 115^@#

Explanation:

In a triangle, exterior angle is equal to the sum of the interior opposite angles.

Therefore, #ChatAD = AhatCB + AhatBC = 90 + 25 = color(blue)(115^@#

Alternate method

In a triangle, all the three angles add upto #180^@#

#:. ChatAB = 180 - 90 - 25 = 65^@#

#bar(DB)# is a straight line and line #bar(CA) # standing on it.

Hence #ChatAD, ChatAB are supplementary.

Hrence, #ChatAD = 180 - ChatAB = 180 - 65 = 115^@#
