1. **Stating the problem:** We are given a right triangle with one leg of length 6 and the hypotenuse of length $3\sqrt{13}$. We want to find the length of the other leg.
2. **Formula used:** In a right triangle, the Pythagorean theorem states:
$$a^2 + b^2 = c^2$$
where $a$ and $b$ are the legs and $c$ is the hypotenuse.
3. **Assign known values:** Let the unknown leg be $x$. Then:
$$6^2 + x^2 = (3\sqrt{13})^2$$
4. **Calculate squares:**
$$36 + x^2 = 9 \times 13$$
$$36 + x^2 = 117$$
5. **Isolate $x^2$:**
$$x^2 = 117 - 36$$
$$x^2 = 81$$
6. **Solve for $x$:**
$$x = \sqrt{81}$$
$$x = 9$$
**Final answer:** The length of the other leg is $9$.
