Answer: ~96.83°

Step-by-step explanation:

1) It's obvious that the largest angle is the opposite to the largest side.

▪︎ QR = 18 (the largest side)

=> <QPR is the largest angle

2) Cosine Rule:

▪︎ QR^2 = QP^2 + PR^2 - 2*QP*PR*cos(QPR)

▪︎ 18*18 = 13*13 + 11*11 - 2*13*11*cos(QPR)

▪︎ 324 = 169 + 121 - 286*cos(QPR)

▪︎ 34 = -286*cos(QPR)

▪︎ cos(QPR) = -34/286

▪︎ <QPR = arccos(-34/286) = 96.827...°
