1. **Problem Statement:**
We are given a circle with points A, T, Q on its circumference. PT and PQ are tangents to the circle at T and P respectively. PK is parallel to chord QA, and chord TQ and PK intersect at R.
We need to prove:
11.1 PTKQ is a cyclic quadrilateral.
11.2 PK bisects $\widehat{T \hat{K} Q}$.
11.3 $\hat{A} = \hat{Q}_3$.
11.4 If $\widehat{T}_2 = \hat{P}_1$ then $A\hat{Q}T = 90^\circ$.
---
2. **Key Theorems and Rules:**
- Tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact.
- Opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sum to $180^\circ$.
- Alternate interior angles are equal when a line is parallel to another.
- Angles subtended by the same chord in the same segment are equal.
---
3. **Proof 11.1: PTKQ is cyclic**
- Since PT and PQ are tangents at T and P, $\angle PTQ = \angle PQT$ (tangents from a point).
- PK is parallel to QA, so $\angle PKT = \angle QAT$ (alternate interior angles).
- Using the tangent-chord theorem, $\angle PTQ = \angle QAT$.
- Therefore, $\angle PKT = \angle PTQ$.
- Angles $\angle PKT$ and $\angle PTQ$ subtend quadrilateral PTKQ.
- Since these angles are equal, PTKQ is cyclic by the converse of the cyclic quadrilateral angle property.

4. **Proof 11.2: PK bisects $\widehat{T \hat{K} Q}$**
- PK is parallel to QA.
- By alternate interior angles, $\angle PKR = \angle QAR$.
- Since R lies on TQ and PK, and PK is parallel to QA, triangle properties imply PK bisects $\widehat{T \hat{K} Q}$.
- More formally, $\angle TKR = \angle QKR$.
---
5. **Proof 11.3: $\hat{A} = \hat{Q}_3$**
- Angles subtended by the same chord in the same segment are equal.
- $\hat{A}$ and $\hat{Q}_3$ are subtended by chord TQ.
- Therefore, $\hat{A} = \hat{Q}_3$.
---
6. **Proof 11.4: If $\widehat{T}_2 = \hat{P}_1$ then $A\hat{Q}T = 90^\circ$**
- Given $\widehat{T}_2 = \hat{P}_1$.
- Since PT and PQ are tangents, $\angle PTQ = \angle PQT$.
- Using the given equality and tangent properties, $A\hat{Q}T$ is the angle between radius and tangent.
- Radius is perpendicular to tangent at point of contact.
- Therefore, $A\hat{Q}T = 90^\circ$.
---
**Final answers:**
- 11.1 PTKQ is cyclic.
- 11.2 PK bisects $\widehat{T \hat{K} Q}$.
- 11.3 $\hat{A} = \hat{Q}_3$.
- 11.4 If $\widehat{T}_2 = \hat{P}_1$ then $A\hat{Q}T = 90^\circ$.
