Therefore from a rectangular/ polar conversion

Bearing PQ = 103° 36’ 17” (1 mark)

Therefore

angle α = bearing PQ – bearing PX = 58° 04’ 10”

Hence

clockwise angle to be set off at P relative to PQ = 58° 04’ 10”

(1 mark)

and

angle β = bearing QP – bearing QX = 58° 33’ 20”

(1 mark)

Hence

clockwise angle to be set off at Q relative to QP = 360° - 58° 33’ 20”

=301° 26’ 40”

Tangent length T1I = Rtan (θ/2) = 154.781 x tan 40° 00’= 129.877 m

Curve length = Rθ rad = 154.781 x (40°/180°) x π = 216.115 m

Given, Chainage I = 1224.687

Ch T1 = Ch I -Tangent length = 1224.687-129.877 = 1094.810 m

Ch T2 = Ch T1 + curve length =1094.810+ 216.115 = 1310.925

Hence ,

1st sub-chord =1100 - 1094.810 = 5.190 m (Chainage 1100)

2nd to 11th (standard) subchords= 20m @

Final subchord =1310.925 - 1300 = 10.925 m (Chainage 1300)

Total= 5.190 +(10x20) +10.925 = 216.115 m (Check)

Deflection angles :

1st subchord =(90/240Π)x5.190 = 0 ̊ 57’ 37.9”

Standard subchord =(90/240Π)x20 = 3 ̊ 42’ 06.2”

Final subchord =(90/240Π)x5.190 = 2 ̊ 01’ 19.7”

Total = 40 ̊ 00’ 00” (Check)
