Answer

$m\angle A=60$ $m\angle B=30$

Work Step by Step

It is given that $m\angle A=2m\angle B$. $m\angle A+m\angle B=90\longrightarrow$ definition of complementary $2m\angle B+m\angle B=90\longrightarrow$ substitution $3m\angle B=90\longrightarrow$ combine like terms $m\angle B=30\longrightarrow$ division property of equality Substitute to find $m\angle A$. $m\angle A=2m\angle B=2(30)=60$
