--explanation--

In the question ¿Cuál es tu nombre y apellido?, Ángela is speaking directly to one person. This introduces the second person singular in Spanish. Notice these key elements:

• ¿Cuál...? – used to ask for specific information or identification.

• es – from the verb ser. The verb agrees with nombre, not with tú.

• tu – possessive adjective showing the information belongs to the listener.

Structure:

¿Cuál es tu + noun?

Even though Ángela is talking to the second person, she uses es because the subject of the sentence is nombre, not tú. Another example:

• ¿Cuál es tu número?

Use ¿cuál? with ser to ask for specific personal information. In this case, the first piece of information Ángela is asking is the person's name.
