15. Complete the proof.
Consider a circle(center is O) that inscribes the triangle △RST and
has the diameter ST .
1
We want to show that ∠RST = ∠ROT .
2
Proof: We begin by constructing radius OR.
Since ∠ROT is an exterior angle of △ROS, ∠ROT = (1).
Since the radius of the circle is OR = OS, ∠ROS is (2).
Since △ROS is (2), ∠ORS = (3).

Thus, ∠RST = ∠ROT .
