Answer:

m∠A=10°

Explanation:

we know that

Vertical angles are the angles opposite each other when two lines cross. The angles are congruent.

so

In this problem we have

m∠A=m∠B

substitute the given values


x=4x-30

Solve for x


4x-x=30\\3x=30\\x=10

Find the measure of angle A

m∠A=x

substitute the value of x

m∠A=10°
