Answer:

A = 50

Explanation:

All three angles are the interior angles of a triangle. No matter what else might be true, those three angles add up to 180 degrees. All triangles have interior angles adding up to 180 degrees.

8x + 8 + 5x + 5 + 4x + 14 = 180 Combine like terms

17x + 27 = 180 Subtract 27 from both sides.

17x = 180 - 27

17x = 153 Divide both sides by 17

x = 153/17

x = 9

But you want A

A = 4x + 14

x = 9

A = 4*9 + 14

A = 36 + 14

A= 50
