SUMMARY

The triangle PQR has angle bisectors QB and RA, with given angles of $\angle QBA = 24^{\circ}$ and $\angle RAB = 18^{\circ}$. To find the measures of angles P, Q, and R, apply the angle bisector theorem and the properties of triangles. The calculations yield $\angle P = 138^{\circ}$, $\angle Q = 24^{\circ}$, and $\angle R = 18^{\circ}$. The confusion regarding point D has been clarified, confirming that it should refer to point B.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of triangle properties and angle bisectors
  • Knowledge of the angle bisector theorem
  • Basic trigonometry

Ops...the question should read as "$QB$ and $RA$ are angle bisectors of the triangle $PQR$. Given that $\angle QBA=24^{\circ}$ and $\angle RAB=18^{\circ}$. Find the measure of each angles $P,\,Q$ and $R$."

The letter $D$ should be a $B$, my apologies for the confusion and that explains perfectly why this thread hasn't received any response yet!:o
