tantheta+ cottheta=4/sqrt3

=>tantheta+ 1/tantheta=4/sqrt3

=>sqrt3tan^2theta+ sqrt3=4tantheta

=>sqrt3tan^2theta-4tantheta+ sqrt3=0

=>sqrt3tan^2theta-3tantheta- tantheta+ sqrt3=0

=>sqrt3tantheta(tantheta-sqrt3)- (tantheta-sqrt3)=0

=>(tantheta-sqrt3)(sqrt3tantheta-1)=0

When
tantheta=sqrt3

=>tantheta=tan(pi/3)=tan(pi+pi/3)

theta=pi/3 or(4pi)/3

When
tantheta=1/sqrt3

=>tantheta=tan(pi/6)=tan(pi+pi/6)

theta=pi/6 or(7pi)/6
