Let angle ACP=x angle APC=141°-x AB=AC So if we calculate we get: angle ABP=2x-51° angle BAP=81°-2x In ∆APB, angle APB=150° AP/ AB=sin(2x-51°)/sin 150°=2sin(2x-51°) In ∆ APC , AP/ AC=sin x/ sin(141°-x) 2sin(2x-51°)=sin x/ sin(141°-x) cos(90°-x)- cos(3x-12°)=sin x So, 3x-12=90° x=34° angle BAP=81°-2(34°)=13° @KRISHIJIVI

Other synthetic: Construct the equilateral triangle $AKB, K$ outside $ABC$, see that $A$ is the circumcenter of $\triangle BCK$ and $K$ the one of $\triangle ABP$ and $C-P-K$ collinear. Let $\widehat{BAP}=x$, then $\widehat{BKC}=\frac{39^\circ+x}2, \widehat{KAP}=60^\circ+x=\widehat{APK}$, resulting $\widehat{AKP}=60^\circ-2x$, but $\widehat{AKP}+\widehat{BKP}=60^\circ$, i.e. $60^\circ-2x+\frac{39^\circ-x}2=60^\circ$ hence $3x=39^\circ$, $x=13^\circ$.
