6 is the short leg and y is the hypotenuse. Special right triangles
30 60 90 triangle

*I changed the variable for the hypotenuse to make it less confusing:)

So the side lengths for any 30 60 90 degree triangle is:
short leg: x
long leg: x√3
hypotenuse: 2x

If the short leg x is 6, the hypotenuse would be 2x, or 2(6)
