you have tan(T) = 1/sqrt(3).
that means opposite leg to the angle is 1 and adjacent leg to the angle is sqrt(3).
use pythagoream formula to find hypotenuse = sqrt(1^2 + sqrt(3)^2) = sqrt(1+3) = sqrt(4) = 2.
hypotenuse is equal to 2.
that means sin(t) = 1/2.
this corresponds to an angle of 30 degrees.
tangent is positive in first quadrant and third quadrant.
angle in third quadrant is 180 + 30 = 210 degrees.
radian equivalent for 30 degrees is 30 * pi / 180 = pi/6.
radian equivalent for 210 degrees is 210 * pi / 180 = 7pi/6.
selection a and d are correct, but you want the angle in quadrant 1, so the angle has to be pi/6 which is selection a.
