Answer:

√3/3

Explanation:

To obtain Tan θ ;

From trigonometry, tan θ = sin θ / cosθ

Given the paired value : (√3/2, 1/2)

The (cosine, sine ) pair ;

Tan θ = sin (1/2) / cos (√3/2)

Tan θ = (1/2 ÷ √3 / 2) = 1 / 2 * 2 / √3 = 2 / 2√3 = 1 / √3

Tan θ = 1 / √3

Rationlaizing the denominator :

1/√3 * √3/ √3 = √3/√9 = √3/3
