Answer:

Angle A = 60º and Angle B = 30º

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that A and B are complementary angles, therefore ∠A + ∠B =90. (+)

On the other hand, ∠A is half as large as ∠B; this can be written algebraically as [tex]A=\frac{B}{2}[/tex]. (*)

If we substitute (*) in (+) we get:

[tex]\frac{B}{2}+B = 90\\\\ \frac{B+2B=180}{2} \\\\ B+2B=180\\\\ 3B=180\\\\ B=\frac{180}{3}\\\\ B=60[/tex]

And now we substitute the value of B in (+) and we get:

∠A+60 = 90

∠A = 90-60

∠A = 30
