Applying the tangent theorem and trigonometry ratio, the measure of angle A is: 19.5°.

<h3>What is the Tangent Theorem?</h3>

The tangent theorem states that if a line is tangent to a circle, the point at which the radius is drawn to the point of tangency is a right angle.

Thus, consider triangle AKO as a right triangle.

Therefore,

  • angle A = reference angle
  • Ok = 5 (opposite)
  • AO = 15 (hypotenuse)

Using the trigonometry ratio, SOH, we have:

sin A = opp/hyp

sin A = 5/15

sin A = 0.3333

A = 19.5°

Therefore, applying the tangent theorem and trigonometry ratio, the measure of angle A is: 19.5°.
