Answer:

22.5°  

Step-by-step explanation:

⇒ cos²A - sinAcosA - 1/2 = 0

⇒ 2cos²A - 2sinAcosA - 1 = 0

⇒ 2cos²A - 1 = 2sinAcosA

    Using: 2cos²A - 1 = cos2A

                2sinAcosA = sin2A

⇒ cos2A = sin2A

⇒ 1 = tan2A   or  tan(2A + π)

⇒ tan45° = tan2A   or tan(2A + π)

⇒ 45° = 2A  or  45° = 2A + π

⇒ 22.5° = A   or  2A = 45 - π = 135°

      A = 22.5°   or   - 67.5°
