To solve the equation \( x^2 = \frac{36}{169} \), we can take the square root of both sides.

First, we rewrite the equation:

\[ x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{36}{169}} \]

Next, we can take the square root of the fraction:

\[ x = \pm \frac{\sqrt{36}}{\sqrt{169}} = \pm \frac{6}{13} \]

Thus, the solutions are:

\[ x = \frac{6}{13} \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\frac{6}{13} \]

The correct solution set is:

\[ \left{ \frac{6}{13}, -\frac{6}{13} \right} \]
