Answer:
30 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
this can be expressed by x+y=90.
1/2y=x
multiply both sides by two to isolate y
y=2x
now sub in 2x for y in the first equation
x+2x=90, 3x=90, divide both sides by 3 to isolate x,
x=90/3=30
now subtract the value of x from 90 to find y
90-x=y, 90-30=y, 60=y
the smaller angle is 30 degrees.
