  2θ+2θ+θ = 180°  ⇒  θ= 36°     ?+? +(90−36°)=180°          ? = ((90°+36°)/2) = 63 ° .

$$\:\:\mathrm{2}\theta+\mathrm{2}\theta+\theta\:=\:\mathrm{180}° \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:\:\theta=\:\mathrm{36}°\: \\ $$$$\:\:?+?\:+\left(\mathrm{90}−\mathrm{36}°\right)=\mathrm{180}° \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:?\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{90}°+\mathrm{36}°}{\mathrm{2}}\:=\:\mathrm{63}\:°\:. \\ $$

they are both radius of the   semicircle  because i took point  P to be the centre of the semicircle.

one more, why  ∠P  is 2θ?

$$\mathrm{one}\:\mathrm{more},\:\mathrm{why}\:\:\angle{P}\:\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{2}\theta? \\ $$
