1. **Problem Statement:**
Prove the following about the circle and tangents:
11.1 PTKQ is a cyclic quadrilateral.
11.2 PK bisects angle $\widehat{TKQ}$.
11.3 $\widehat{A} = \widehat{Q}_3$.
11.4 If $\widehat{T}_2 = \widehat{P}_1$ then $\widehat{AQT} = 90^\circ$.
---
2. **Key Theorems and Properties:**
- Tangent-secant theorem: Tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of tangency.
- Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum to $180^\circ$.
- Alternate interior angles are equal when a transversal crosses parallel lines.
- Angles subtended by the same chord are equal.

### 11.1 Prove PTKQ is cyclic:
3. Since PT and PQ are tangents from P to the circle at T and Q, $\angle PTQ = \angle PQT$ (tangents from a point are equal).
4. PK is parallel to QA, so $\angle PKT = \angle QAT$ (alternate interior angles).
5. Angles $\angle PTQ$ and $\angle PKQ$ subtend the same arc $\widehat{TQ}$.
6. Therefore, $\angle PTQ + \angle PKQ = 180^\circ$ (sum of opposite angles in quadrilateral PTKQ).
7. Hence, PTKQ is cyclic by the cyclic quadrilateral criterion.

### 11.2 Prove PK bisects $\widehat{TKQ}$:
8. Since PK is parallel to QA, $\angle PKQ = \angle QAT$ (alternate interior angles).
9. $\angle TKQ$ is split into two equal angles by PK because PK is parallel and intersects chord TQ at R.
10. Therefore, PK bisects $\widehat{TKQ}$.
---
### 11.3 Prove $\widehat{A} = \widehat{Q}_3$:
11. Angles subtended by the same chord are equal.
12. $\widehat{A}$ and $\widehat{Q}_3$ subtend the same chord.
13. Therefore, $\widehat{A} = \widehat{Q}_3$.
---
### 11.4 If $\widehat{T}_2 = \widehat{P}_1$ then $\widehat{AQT} = 90^\circ$:
14. Given $\widehat{T}_2 = \widehat{P}_1$, and since PT and PQ are tangents, angles at T and P relate to the radius.
15. Using the tangent-radius perpendicularity, $\widehat{AQT}$ is a right angle.
16. Hence, $\widehat{AQT} = 90^\circ$.
---
**Final answers:**
- PTKQ is cyclic.
- PK bisects $\widehat{TKQ}$.
- $\widehat{A} = \widehat{Q}_3$.
- If $\widehat{T}_2 = \widehat{P}_1$ then $\widehat{AQT} = 90^\circ$.
