Thank you so much for your time.

Answer
1.)
I need at least one angle to help you, also is this a right triangle. I need more info.

---------------------

2.)
In a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal and adjacent sides are supplementary

180 - 35 = 145°

So you are correct on #2

Can you tell me how you derived at your answer for 1.)
