Problem Statement

A triangle ABCABC with β=45o\beta= 45^o is given. There is a point PP on side BCBC, where BP:PC=1:2BP : PC =1 : 2 (inner division) and APC=60o\angle APC = 60^o. Someone claims that you can do it with elementary geometric theorems alone without using the plane trigonometry, the size of the angle γ\gamma determine.
