We need to find the approximate diameter, which is 2R.

Length of the arc ABC=2/3 of the length of circumference.

The length of circumference is measured as 2ПR

24=2/3*2ПR

2ПR=72/2=36

2R=36/3.14=~11

as all angles of triangle are equal the circle is divided on 3 equal arc ab, bc, ca, and each is equal 360/3=120 degrees
so ab+bc=120+120=240

the other way to see that angle abc=1/2* center angle. 60=1/2*center angle. and center angle=120. say aoc=120. then
360-120=240. (i mean external center angle=240)

also i assumed that pi=3 and final answer does`t match exactly

It is an equilateral triangle inscribed into a circle, so it divides the circumference of the circle into 3 equal parts. Arc ABC is 2/3 of the circumference.
