For any triangle, the sum of its interior angles will be equal to 180°

From there, we can make the next equation:

x + 51 + x + 73 + 72= 180

In this equation, I will simplify on the left, adding 51, 73 and 72.

2x + 196 = 180

Now I will subtract 196 on both sides.

2x = 180 - 196

2x = -16

Next, I will divide by 2 on both sides.

x = -16 / 2

x = -8

Now that I have the value of x, I can solve for A

A = x + 73

A = -8 + 73

A = 65°
