Given that,
[tex]\rm \: 2A \: is \: an \: acute \: angle \\ [/tex]
and
[tex]\rm \: tan2A = cot(A - 18\degree ) \\ [/tex]
We know,
[tex]\boxed{ \rm{ \:tanx = cot(90\degree - x) \: }} \\ [/tex]
So, using this result, the above expression can be rewritten as
[tex]\rm \: cot(90\degree - 2A) = cot(A - 18\degree ) \\ [/tex]
On comparing, we get
[tex]\rm\implies \:90\degree - 2A= A - 18\degree \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm \: 2A + A = 90\degree + 18\degree \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm \: 3A = 108\degree \\ [/tex]
[tex]\rm\implies \:A = 36\degree \\ [/tex]

Answer:
[tex]\large\underline{\sf{A=36°}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\large\underline{\sf{Given \: that}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\underline{\sf{2A \: is \: an \: acute \: angle}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\underline{\sf{and}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\underline{\sf{ \tan(2A) = \cot( A - 18 \degree)}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\underline{\sf{We \: know}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\boxed{\sf{ \tan x = \cot(90 \degree - x) }}[/tex]
So,using this , the above expression can be written as
[tex]\large\underline{\sf{ \cot(90 \degree - 2A) = \cot(A-18°) }}[/tex]
[tex]\large\underline{\sf{ ➡\: On \: comparing \: we \: get}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\underline{\sf{90°-2A =A - 18 \degree }}[/tex]
[tex]\large\underline{\sf{ \implies 3A = 108 \degree}}[/tex]
[tex]\large\underline{\sf{A = 36 \degree}}[/tex]
