To better give a visual, I drew it out instead.
The attachment is the solution.
Unusual notation. I won't fuss with it.
a. We have isosceles PRT, so angle RPT = angle RTP.
By the definition of angle bisector, angle MTP = angle MTF, and angle MPT = angle MPU.
We have m angle RTP = m angle MTF + m angle MTP = 2 m angle MTP
Similarly, m angle RPT = 2 m angle MPT
2 m angle MTP = 2 m angle MPT
angle MPT = angle MPT
That's the first part.
b. That makes MPT isosceles.
c. 2x+124=180
2x = 56
x = 28 degrees
MTP = 28 degrees
d. We have angle RPT=angle RTP=56 so PRT=180-2(56)=68 degrees
PUT = 180 - UTP - UPT = 180 - 28 - 56 = 96 degrees
Bad drawing, PUT looks acute.
angle PRT = 68 degrees, angle PUT = 96 degrees
