Use a calculator or set of trig tables to look up
cot(60.6^@) = 0.563471

Explanation:

Although the angle is close to 60^@ for which all basic trig functions can be determined manually, the angle 60.6^@ will require use of a calculator (or similar aid).

If your calculator does not have a cot function but does have a tan function
color(white)("XXXX")evaluate tan(60.6^@) and then divide 1 by the answer.
color(white)("XXXX")color(white)("XXXX")Remember cot = 1/tan

If your calculator does not support degree arguments for trig functions:
color(white)("XXXX")60.6^@ = (60.6pi)/180 " radians" = 1.05767 " radians"
