Answer:

The measure of angle A is 48.4 degrees

Explanation:

To find the measure of angle A, we are going to use the cosine rule

We have this as;

a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc Cos A

a^2 = 11^2 + 13^2 -2(11)(13) cos A

100 = 121 + 169- 286cos A

286 cos A = 290-100

286 cos A = 190

cos A = 190/286

cos A = 0.6643

A = arc cos 0.6643

A = 48.4 degrees
