Answer:

75 degrees

Explanation:

since this figure has four sides we can figure out the measure of the interior angles by using the formula, (n-2)*180, where 'n' = number of sides

(4-2)180 = 2(180) = 360

also, we know that since AB is parallel to DC that the figure is a rhombus where adjacent angles are supplementary

therefore, we can find 'x' by writing this equation:

12x - 3 + 9x - 6 = 180

simplify:

21x - 9 = 180

21x = 189

x = 9

also, we know that opposite angles in a rhombus are equal so if we substitute '9' for 'x' in angle C we will know the measure of angle A:

m<A = 9(9)-6

m<A = 81-6

m<A = 75 degrees
