**Question 8: Triangle Measurements and Angle Calculation**

Consider triangle ABC with the following side lengths:
- \( a = 17 \) 
- \( b = 21 \)
- \( c = 25 \)

You are to find the measure of angle \( A \). The options are:
- \( 137.7^\circ \) 
- \( 81.5^\circ \)
- \( 42.3^\circ \)
- \( 56.2^\circ \)

Choose the correct measure of angle \( A \). 

This question tests your understanding of the use of trigonometric principles, likely the Law of Cosines, to determine the angle of a triangle given its side lengths.
