Verified Answer :

A cotangent (cot) is the adjacent side (not the hypotenuse or side not containing the right angle) over the opposite side, so \(cot(G) = \frac{j}{g}\) or the third answer.

The answer is the third option, \(\frac{j}{g} .\)

Start by knowing that the cotangent function is the reciprocal of the tangent function. Because tangent is \(\frac{opp}{adj}\), cotangent is \(\frac{adj}{opp} .\)

For angle G, find the adjacent and opposite sides of the given triangle. These are j and g, respectively. Simply put those into the contangent function, and you have your answer.

\(\cot(G)= \frac{adj}{opp} = \frac{j}{g}\)
