Solution 5
Following from the law of cosines, we can easily get , , .
Hence, , , . Thus, .
Denote by the circumradius of . In , following from the law of sines, we have .
Because and are tangents to the circumcircle , and . Thus, .
In , we have and . Thus, following from the law of cosines, we have
\begin{align*} AD & = \sqrt{OA^2 + OD^2 - 2 OA \cdot OD \cos \angle AOD} \\ & = \frac{26 \sqrt{14}}{33} R. \end{align*}
Following from the law of cosines,
\begin{align*} \cos \angle OAD & = \frac{AD^2 + OA^2 - OD^2}{2 AD \cdot OA} \\ & = \frac{8 \sqrt{14}}{39} . \end{align*}
Therefore,
\begin{align*} AP & = 2 OA \cos \angle OAD \\ & = \frac{100}{13} . \end{align*}
Therefore, the answer is .
