Triangle \(ABC\) is shown with an inscribed circle of radius 4 units centered at point \(D\). The inscribed circle is tangent to side \(AB\) at the point \(G\). The length of \(AG\) is 6 units and the length of \(BG\) is 8 units. What is the measure of angle \(A\)?

• \(\arctan\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\)

• \(2\arctan\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\)

• \(\arcsin\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\)

• \(2 \arccos\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)\)
