Answer:

B.
(HI)/(GI)

Explanation:

The trigonometric ratio formula for tangent of any angle in a right triangle is given as:

tan(θ) =
(opposite)/(adjacent)

Note: it is the length of the side opposite to the θ, and the length of the side adjacent to θ.

Thus, in the right triangle given, ∆GHI,

θ = <G

The length of side the opposite <G = HI

The length of the side adjacent to <G = GI

Therefore, the equivalent of tan(<G) =
(HI)/(GI)
