Answer: the first option is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Triangle ABC is a right angle triangle.

From the given right angle triangle,

AB represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

With m∠A as the reference angle,

AC represents the adjacent side of the right angle triangle.

BC represents the opposite side of the right angle triangle.

To determine the tangent of angle A, we would apply the Tangent trigonometric ratio. It is expressed as

Tan θ, = opposite side/adjacent side. Therefore,

Tan A = 5/5√3 = 1/√3

Rationalizing the surd, it becomes

1/√3 × √3/√3

Tan A = √3/3
