To solve this problem, we can use the trigonometric function of sine or cosine.
If we use sine, we can write:
sin(x) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(x) = 13/17
To find the value of x, we need to take the inverse sine (or arcsine) of both sides:
x = sin^(-1)(13/17)
Using a calculator, we get:
x ≈ 52 degrees
Therefore, the value of x to the nearest degree is 52 degrees.
