Question 15

$Q\,$ and $R\,$ are points on the circumference of a circle, centre $O$ . $MRN\,$ is a tangent to the circle.

A geometric diagram shows a circle with center $O$ . A horizontal line $MRN\,$ is tangent to the circle at point $R$ . Points $P\,$ and $Q\,$ are on the circumference. Chords $PR\,$ and $QR\,$ are drawn.

Prove that angle $NRQ\,$ and angle $RPQ\,$ are equal.
