The answer is 36°.
Complementary angles are those angles whose sum is 90°.
Let angles be x and y.
x + y = 90°
x : y = 2 : 3
_____
3 x = 2 y
3x = 2y
x + y = 90°
_____
x = 2/3y
x + y = 90°
2/3y + y = 90°
2/3y + 3/3y = 90°
5/3y = 90°
5y = 90° 3
5y = 270°
y = 54°
x + 54° = 90°
x = 90° - 54°
x = 36°
The smaller angle is 36°
