What is tan^2Ө =1/3 using the interval 0 ≤ Ө < 2π
--------
tan(theta) = +-[1/sqrt(3)]
------------------------------
Draw a right triangle:
tan = y/x so y = height = +-1 and x = base = +-sqrt(3)
---
Find "r":
r = sqrt(1^2 + (sqrt(3))^2} = sqrt(4) = 2
----
Since the height is +-1 and the hypotenuse is 2
the angle opposite "y" is pi/6 in the Q1; it is
(5/6)pi in Q2; it is (7/6)pi in Q3; and it is
(11/6)pi in Q4.
