The correct answer is
$40^\circ$

Triangle Angle A Calculation

In triangle ABC, the angle bisectors of angles $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ meet at point I. This point I is known as the incenter of the triangle.

There's a specific relationship between the angle at the incenter ($\angle BIC$) and the opposite angle ($\angle A$) in a triangle. The formula is:

$ \angle BIC = 90^\circ + \frac{1}{2}\angle A $

We are given that $\angle BIC = 110^\circ$. We can substitute this value into the formula to find $\angle A$.

$ 110^\circ = 90^\circ + \frac{1}{2}\angle A $

To solve for $\angle A$, first subtract $90^\circ$ from both sides:

$ 110^\circ - 90^\circ = \frac{1}{2}\angle A $

$ 20^\circ = \frac{1}{2}\angle A $

Now, multiply both sides by 2 to find the measure of $\angle A$:

$ \angle A = 2 \times 20^\circ $

$ \angle A = 40^\circ $

Therefore, the measure of angle A is $40^\circ$.
