Solve the following problems. Show your solution.

1. Two tangents adjacent to each other having bearings N65°30’E and S85°10’E meet at station
(11+157.98). If the radius of the simple curve connecting these two tangents is 249.17m,
determine the following:
a. Tangent Distance
b. Long Chord
c. Middle Ordinate
d. External Distance
e. Degree of Curve
f. Length of the curve
g. Stationing of PT.

2. The perpendicular offset from a point A on a single curve to Q on the tangent line PC is 50.6m. If
the distance from PC to Q is 198m and the distance from V to PT is 273.5m, compute:
a. The radius of the curve
b. The external distance of the curve
c. The middle ordinate of the curve
