**Question 11**

Given the triangle with side lengths 28, 15, and 20, find the measure of angle \( A \) using the Law of Cosines. *Picture is not drawn to scale.*

\[ A = \_\_\_\_\_ \] degrees

**Instructions:** 
- Give your answer accurate to at least one decimal place.
- Click "Next Question" to proceed.

**Explanation of Diagram:**
The triangle depicted is a scalene triangle, with angle \( A \) opposite the side labeled 20 units. The other two sides are labeled 28 and 15 units, respectively. Use the Law of Cosines formula:

\[ c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2ab \cdot \cos(C) \]

to find the measure of angle \( A \).

**User Action:**
Type the calculated answer for angle \( A \) in the provided space and ensure it is accurate to at least one decimal place before proceeding to the next question.
