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

Start by knowing that the cotangent function is the reciprocal of the tangent function. Because tangent is [tex] \frac{opp}{adj} [/tex], cotangent is [tex] \frac{adj}{opp} .[/tex]

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.

[tex]\cot(G)= \frac{adj}{opp} = \frac{j}{g} [/tex]
