Here, I'll try to kinda wing this answer for you.

 

So, we know cot = 6, right?

 

We should know that cot = 1/tan

 

We also know that tan means opposite over adjacent.

 

Since cot = 1/tan, tan = 1/6

 

this means our opp is 1, and our adj is 6

 

So we have two sides, the opposite and the adjacent.

 

We know through Pythagorean theorem that a^2 + b^2 = c^2 and a & b are 1 & 6.
