Answer:

m∠FXM = 24°

Explanation:

This problem has a lot of extra data that has no relation to the question. You can basically ignore any business about isosceles triangles and congruent segments.

__

The only thing you need to know is the angle sum theorem:

m∠FXM + m∠MXA = m∠FXA

Filling in the numbers, you get ...

m∠FXM + 72° = 96°

m∠FXM = 96° -72° = 24°

The measure of angle FXM is 24°. (matches choice A)
