CorrectNot quiteAnswer B

Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Find the angle θ\theta in the branch [0,π]−{π2}[0, \pi] - \left\{\frac{\pi}{2}\right\} with sec⁡θ=233\sec \theta = \frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{3}.

  2. That angle is π6\frac{\pi}{6}.

Worth noting

π3\frac{\pi}{3} has secant 2; 23\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} means cosine 32\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}.
