Since AD=CD and angle D is a right angle, Triangle ADC is an isosceles right triangle so angles DAC and DCA are 45 degrees.
The tangent of angle BAC (by SOH-CAH-TOA) is
so the measure of angle BAC is arctan(1.9) = 62.2 On your calculator, arctan or inverse tangent is on the same button as tan, and looks like tan to the -1 power (which it isn't).
So the angle at A is the sum of the angles DAC and BAC which is 45 + 62.2 = 107.2 degrees.
