90° 30°
√3
a. 1/2
b. √3/2
c. 1/√3
d. √3
e. 1
f. 2/√3

Explanation:

Step1: Recall tan definition

$\tan(\theta)=\frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}}$

Step2: Identify sides for 60°

Opposite = $\sqrt{3}$, adjacent = 1

Step3: Calculate tan 60°

$\tan 60^\circ=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{1}=\sqrt{3}$

Answer:

D. $\sqrt{3}$
