The diagram shows a circle passing through the points \(P, Q, R\) and \(S\). Chord \(SQ\) and \(RP\) intersect at \(T\). The straight line \(URV\) is a tangent to the circle at \(R\). The tangent meets the line \(SQ\) extended at \(U\) such that \(RU = RS\).

  1. Show that triangle \(RQU\) is isosceles.[3]
  2. Show that angle \(SPT = 2 \times\) angle \(QPT\).[3]
