The sum of the angles of a triangle always equals 180°, then we can formulate the following expression:

(x + 69)° + (39 + x)° + 90° = 180°

By combining like terms in the above equation, we get:

x + x + 69 + 39 + 90 = 180

2x + 198° = 180°

We can solve for x to get:

2x + 198 - 198 = 180 - 198

2x = 180 - 198

2x = -18

x = -18/2

x = -9

Then, x equals -9.

In order to calculate the measure of angle A, we just have to replace the value of x into the equation 39 + x, then we get:

mmm

Then, the measure of angle A equals 30°.
