in triangle ABC,
AB=AC implies that ABC is an isoceles triangle
let one of its equal angle be x then ,
x +x+∠A = 180° ( ANGLE SUM PROPERTY )
⇒ 2x + ∠A = 180° ...... EQ.1
ALSO ,∠A+x = 125° (EXTERIOR ANGLE PROPERTY )
MULTIPLYING THE ABOVE EQUATION BY 2 WE GET ,
2∠A+2x = 250° ......... EQ. 2
SUBTRACTING EQ. 1 FROM EQ.2 ,
2∠A + 2x -2x -∠A= 250°-180°
⇒∠A = 70°
HOPE IT HELPED !

Can you check this question again I guess it is kind of wrong or you can tell me if the figure is like this
If the figure is like this then
Since angle ACD is 120° then Angle ACB =60°
And then angle A will also be 60°.
If the figure is like this then
Since angle ACD is 120° then Angle ACB =60°
And then angle A will also be 60°.
