A circle has center \(O\) and radius \(6.\) Points \(A, B, C,\) and \(D\) are chosen on the circle such that \(AD=BC,\) and such that rays \(\overrightarrow{AD}\) and \(\overrightarrow{BC}\) meet at point \(P\) outside the circle. Suppose that \(AB=10\) and \(\angle DOC=90\)°. Compute \(AP.\)

A circle has center \(O\) and radius \(6\).
Points \(A,\ B,\ C,\ \) and \(D\) are chosen on the circle such that \(AD=BC\),
and such that rays \(\overrightarrow{AD}\) and \(\overrightarrow{BC}\) meet at point \(P\) outside the circle.
Suppose that \(AB=10\) and \(\angle DOC=90^\circ\). Compute \(AP\).
