Question 1

Let $AXYZB$ be a convex pentagon inscribed in a semicircle of diameter $AB$.
Denote by $P$, $Q$, $R$, $S$ the feet of the perpendiculars
from $Y$ onto lines $AX$, $BX$, $AZ$, $BZ$, respectively.
Prove that the acute angle formed by lines $PQ$ and $RS$ is half the size of $\angle XOZ$,
where $O$ is the midpoint of segment $AB$.
