The sum of measure of exterior angles of a regular polygon is always 360 degree.

Determine the measure of a exterior angle for a regular nonagon.


\begin{gathered} \angle1=(360)/(9) \\ =40 \end{gathered}

Determine the measure of exterior angle for a regular pentagon.


\begin{gathered} \angle2=(360)/(5) \\ =72 \end{gathered}

The angle RST is equal to sum of exterior angle of nonagon and exterior angle of pentagon. So,


\begin{gathered} \angle RST=\angle1+\angle2 \\ =72+40 \\ =112 \end{gathered}

Thus measure of angle RST is 112 degree.
