Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

since  cos ^2  = 1/4 then cos = 1/2

b/c cot is  tan inverted, then  cot =  cos / sin

so we also know that  [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]/2  will be sin for this same Ф

then

cot =  (1/2)  /  ( [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]/2  )

cot = 1 / [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

since Ф is in quad III

we know both parts of the fraction will be negative

cot = -1 / -[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]

but we would normally write that as a positive
