Answer

Rounding to the nearest tenth of a degree, we find that the angles that satisfy the equation are \( A = \boxed{56.3^{\circ}} \) and \( A = \boxed{236.3^{\circ}} \).

Steps

Step 1 :The given equation is a simple linear equation in terms of \( \tan A \). We can solve it by first simplifying the equation and then finding the value of \( A \) by taking the inverse tangent of the solution. However, since the tangent function has a period of \( 180^{\circ} \), we need to add \( 180^{\circ} \) to the solution to find all possible angles in the range \( 0^{\circ} \leq A<360^{\circ} \).

Step 2 :By solving the equation, we find that \( A1 = 56.309932474020215 \) and \( A2 = 236.30993247402023 \).

Step 3 :Rounding to the nearest tenth of a degree, we find that the angles that satisfy the equation are \( A = \boxed{56.3^{\circ}} \) and \( A = \boxed{236.3^{\circ}} \).
