Answer:
two angles are complementary,so sum of them is 90°
let one angle is 2x°
then the other is x°
so,
2x+x=90
=> 3x=90
=> x=90/3=30
so smaller angle is 30 °

Answer:
Measure of smaller angle = 30° [MARK THE ANSWER AS BRAINLIEST]
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of Complementary angles = 90°
Given, one angle is half of the other
Lets suppose one angle be of x°
∴ Other angle = x/2°
∠1 + ∠2 = 90°
x + x/2 = 90°
3x/2 = 90°
3x = 2 × 90°
x = 180°/3 = 60°
Therefore, Angle 1 [ ∠1 ] = 60°
Other Angle [ ∠2 ] = 60/2 = 30° [Smaller Angle]
