On a number of posts, like this, I have seen people state that a triangle is "in AP". Can someone explain what that abbreviation stands for in this context?

Here it means arithmetic progression, so if the sides are $a,b,c$ we have $a+d=b, b+d=c$ for some $d$. You also see GP for geometric progrssion.
