Explanation:

Since you were not given the degrees of amplitude or radians of amplitude, we assume that the degrees of amplitude are less than 20 or 20 and we also assume that this is a simple pendulum

Apply the equation

T2πLg (1)

And for accurate

T=2πamg(1,cos(πdegrees360))×Lg (2)

Where g is acceleration due to gravity that is 9.80665m/s

amg(arithmetic geometric mean) is an operation

T is the time period

Time period is the time required for one oscillation

Where L is length

But we would use equation one

T2π1.3m9.80665m/s

The unit for length here is m
