Answer:

a = √11 and b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to attached picture for reference

for an right triangle with angle θ

we are given

cos θ = 5/6 = length of adjacent side / length of hypotenuse

hence

adjacent length = 5 units

hypotenuse length = 6 units

the missing side is the "opposite" length which we can find with the Pythagorean equation. in our case:

hypotenuse ² = adjacent ² + opposite²   (rearrange)

opposite ² = hypotenuse ² - adjacent ²

opposite ² = 6² - 5²

opposite = √ (6²-5²) = √11

sin θ = opposite length / hypotenuse  (substitute values above)

sin θ = √11 / 6

hence a = √11 and b = 6
