Question 6

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

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

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