Question

Can someone please answer. There is one problem. There's a picture! Thank you!

Answer 1

The answer is the third option,
`(j)/(g) .`

Start by knowing that the cotangent function is the reciprocal of the tangent function. Because tangent is
`(opp)/(adj)`, cotangent is
`(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)= (adj)/(opp) = (j)/(g)`

Answer 2

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