Remark

The central angle and the arc measurement are equal so <APB = 60o

Every triangle has 180o. There are no exceptions to this rule.

The triangle is at least isosceles because two of it's sides are radii and each radii of a circle is equal to any other radius.

Equation and solution for the base angles.

2x + 60 = 180

2x = 180 - 60

2x = 120

x = 120/2

x = 60

Conclusion

That means that all three angles are 60 which means that all three sides are equal. Since AB is 12, AP is also 12
