Answer :

The measure of angle (m ∠A) is 136°

Vertical angles theorem

From the question, we are to find the measure of angle A

From the given information, we have that

∠A and ∠B are vertical angles

Thus

∠A = ∠B

and

Also, from the given information,

m ∠A=(2x+26)°

and

m ∠B= (3x−29)°

∴ (2x+26)° = (3x−29)°

Now, solve for x

2x + 26 = 3x - 29

26 + 29 = 3x - 2x

55 = x

∴ x = 55

But measure of angle A is given by

m ∠A=(2x+26)°

Put the value of x into the equation,

m ∠A=(2(55)+26)°

m ∠A=(110+26)°

m ∠A = 136°

Hence, the measure of angle (m ∠A) is 136°
