Because BA is a diameter, Arc BA is 180° so, since ∠BCA is an inscribed angle, it's value will be half of the arc it subtends so it must equal 90°.
Since a triangle has 180°, ∠B = 180 - 90 - 62 = 28°

As you know the sum of all three angles of a triangle is 180 degrees. You know Angle A is 62 degrees and Angle B is 90 degrees as it is a right angle triangle.
So, Angle A+B+C=180
Angle A+90+62=180
Therefore, Angle A=180-152=28 degrees is the final answer.

Note: The ONLY reason that m∠C is 90 degrees is that point C is on the circle and BA is the diameter If not for that circle. m∠C could have other values. The drawing does not have to be to scale.03/17/20
