You can put this solution on YOUR website! sketch a RT triangle corresponding to cot theta=5?
------
cot = x/y or adjacent/opposite
----
Draw a right triangle that is wider than it is high.
Let the acute base angle be Theta.
opposite angle theta put side "t".
Let the base be "b".
Let the hypotenuse be "c".
------
Since cot(theta) = 5/1, 5 is the adjacent = base b; 1 is the opposite "t".
