I'm struggling to find the radius of the circle in the image (the only other given length is the length between B and the right angle below, which is 5). Is it even possible to get the radius without knowing any other dimensions? Or is there a way to find it? I've tried to use Pythagoras but without knowing the length of the side of the triangle going towards O, it was hard to find it.

Finding the radius with chord length

There is no way to find $\theta$ or the radius from the given data. To see why, imagine to move point $P$ to the left on the horizontal line and let $O$ be the center of circle $ABP$: all given lengths would stay the same, but $r$ and $\theta$ would change.
