See diagram.
OAD = 25 deg.
So ODA = 25 deg. from symmetry of a rectangle.
So AOD = 180 - 25 - 25 = 130 deg.
Hence, the acute angle between diagonals : 180 - 130 = 50 deg.
=============================
OR,
OAD = 25 deg. So BAO = 90 - 25 = 65 deg.
Since ABO = BAO, it is also 65 deg.
Hence, BOA = 180 - 65 - 65 = 50 deg.
