Answer:

θ ≈ 48.2°

Explanation:

The trig function that relates the angle, adjacent side, and hypotenuse is ...

Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

This tells you ...

cos(θ) = 6/9

The angle is found from the cosine value using the inverse cosine function.

θ = arccos(6/9) ≈ 48.2°

Angle A is about 48.2°.
