Answer

The final answer is \(\boxed{\sqrt{3}}\).

Steps

Step 1 :The integral of \(\sec^2(x)\) is \(\tan(x)\). Therefore, the integral of \(3 \sec^2(x)\) is \(3 \tan(x)\). We need to evaluate this from 0 to \(\pi/6\).

Step 2 :The integral is approximately 1.7320508075688772.

Step 3 :The final answer is \(\boxed{\sqrt{3}}\).
