Measure of angle A???
Rudik [331]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle shown has all 3 sides equal in length, hence it is an equilateral triangle.

A property of equilateral triangles is the angles are congruent.

The sum of the 3 angles = 180°, hence the measure of each angle is

\frac{180}{3} = 60° → A
