The diagram shows a circle, centre O.
P, Q, R and S are points on the circumference.
Select all the correct statements.

• Angle QPS = Angle QRS = 90, because right angle in a semicircle

• Angle SQP=27, because tangent is perpendicular to the radius

• Angle PSQ=63, because angle in alternate segment

• Angle SPQ=27, because angles in the same segment
