    Given that the parallelogram has the dimensions given above, the value of x can be calculated using cosine rule as follows;

    a^2=b^2+c^2-2bcCosA

    thus;

    x^2=13^2+17^2-2*13*17*cos 64

    x^2=169+289-442cos64

    x^2=458-193.76

    x^2=264.24

    thus;

    x=sqrt264.24

    x=16.2555

    The answer is 16
