I’m missing one piece of information. To get ∠A from side lengths BA and AC you also need the third side BC (or some other angle). The law of cosines gives:

cos(A) = (AB^2 + AC^2 − BC^2) / (2·AB·AC)

so

A = arccos[(AB^2 + AC^2 − BC^2) / (2·AB·AC)].

Here AB = BA = 45 and AC = 32, so plug those in once you tell me BC. If you post the length of BC (or attach the original diagram), I’ll compute A and round to the nearest degree.
