Junior high school math problems (explain why AP is the diameter and angle PQA = 90°)
The circumferential angle of the diameter is a right angle. This is a theorem. Your teacher should say so.

Connect QO (the angle to be proved is a right angle) with the center o, ∠QAP=∠AQO.

∠QOP=∠OPQ

∠QAP+∠AQO+∠QOP+∠OPQ = 2(∠QAP+∠QPA)= 180

(∠QAP+∠QPA)=90

∠AQP=90
