Problem

A circle has diameter PRPR. A point QQ lies anywhere on the circle other than PP or RR. Let SS be the midpoint of PRPR. (i) Prove that △PQR\triangle PQR is a right-angled triangle with the right angle at QQ. (ii) Show that SP=SQ=SRSP=SQ=SR. (iii) If PQ=7 cmPQ=7\,\text{cm} and QR=24 cmQR=24\,\text{cm}, find the radius of the circle.
