    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.
