\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:The \:\: angles \:\: are \:\: 60° \:\: and \:\:30°

____________________________________


\large \tt Solution \: :

Sum of two complementary angles is 90°

Let's assume one of them to be x, the other one will be x/2 as one of the angles is complementary to other one.


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x + (x)/(2) = 90


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: (2x + x)/(2) = 90


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 3x = 90 * 2


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x = 180 / 3


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x = 60 \degree

and


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: (x)/(2) = 60 / 2 = 30 \degree
