The tangent of an angle is the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
the length of the side adjacent the angle divided by the length of the hypotenuse.
the length of the side opposite the angle divided by the length of the adjacent side.
the length of the hypotenuse divided by the length of the side adjacent the angle.

Following the american gauge wire standards ,the larger gauge number, the slimmer the wire and thus the smaller current carrying capacity it can have.then both statements would be incorrect, as they are saying the opposite of what it is actually is.(smaller gauge numbers have thicker wires and can carry more current)

Let l be the vertical distance of pendulum when it makes 25.0 degree angle to verticalcos(25.0) = l / 1.20 ml = (1.20m)(cos 25.0)so the height, h, of the pendulum above the equilibrium position is h = 1.20m - (1.20m)(cos 25.0)ep,i + ek, i = ep, f = ek, fwhen pendulum held at 25.0 degrees, initial kinetic energy is 0 jwhen pendulum passes through equilibrium point, final potential energy is 0jep, i = ek fmgh = 1/2 m v^2gh = 1/2 m v^2v = √(2gh)v = √[2 * 9.81 m/s² * ( 1.20m - (1.20m)(cos 25.0) )]v = 1.5 m/s
