Hard puzzle about finding perimeter based on geometry

I got reference of this Puzzle from Twitter. I uploaded two of its possible and easy solutions. You may line this Puzzle.

So, dare to solve it...


Take a look at figure given below. Give it a try and when you are ready then watch the solution.





This is a moderate level puzzle. But the condition is you have to know some basic concepts.

Solution:
Perimeter of this figure = arc ADC + AB + CB
First you have to draw OA line.

We have AB = 12cm.

By the concept of angle inscribed by to points on circle with respect to third point on same circle is half the angle formed by same two points and center:
Angle AOB = 2 times Angle ADO
Angle AOB = 90



As we can see, AOB is an 30-60-90 triangle.
AO and OC are radius of circle.
AO = AB cos(60)
AO = 12/2
AO = 6

⇒ Radius (r) = 6
As we can observe,
arc ADC cover 3/4 of circle:
arc ADC = (3/4)*2πr
arc ADC = 9π

Now,
OB = 12(√3/2)
OB = 6√3

CB = OB-OC
CB = 6√3-6


Now,
Perimeter of this figure = arc ADC + AB + CB
Perimeter of this figure = 9π+12+6√3-6
Perimeter of this figure = 9π+6√3+6
