Arc length = 2πr (m∠O)/360 = 2π(12)(60)/360 = 4π
Perimeter of segment = Arc length + r + r = 4π + 12 + 12 = 36.6 in

Since OA is a radius of the circle, OB is a radius as well and its length is also 12 in.
The triangle is therefore isosceles and the measures of the angles at A and B are equal.
The sum of the angles of any triangle is 180°. The angle at O is 60° leaving 120° for the other two. They are equal and thus all three angles are 60°.
The triangle is thus equilateral and all sides are equal.
The length of segment AB is 12 inches.
The angle at O is 60° which is 1/6 of "all the way around" (360°). The circumference of the circle is the diameter times pi, 24 in × π, and one-sixth of that is 4 × π in. (This is approximately 12.566 inches, but the question says "exact.")
The exact perimeter is 12 + 4π inches.
