Answer 1

B. (3/2, sqt 3/2)

Explanation:

Answer 2

x = 1.5

y = 0.866

Explanation:

To convert from polar coordinates to rectangular coordinates, we can use the following formulas:

x = r * cos(theta)

y = r * sin(theta)

So, if our point if (sqrt(3), pi/6), that means r = sqrt(3) and theta = pi/6, so we have that:

x = sqrt(3) * cos(pi/6) = sqrt(3) * sqrt(3)/2 = 3/2 = 1.5

y = sqrt(3) * sin(pi/6) = sqrt(3) * 1/2 = sqrt(3)/2 = 0.866
