m/_N=44^@, m/_P=109^@, m/_Q=27^@
and n=22, p=29.94 and q=14.38

Explanation:

Let the triangle be as shown below:

Observe that as m/_P=109^@ and m/_Q=27^@, we have m/_N=180^@-109^@-27^@=44^@

According to sine formula , we will have here,

n/sinN=p/sinP=q/sinQ

Hence, p/(sin109^@)=q/(sin27^@)=22/sin44^@=22/0.6947

Hence p=22/0.6947xxsin109^@=22/0.6947xx0.9455=29.94

and q=22/0.6947xxsin27^@=22/0.6947xx0.454=14.38
