The tangent distance of a 3° simple curve is only

1/2 of its radius.

Determine the following:

a. Angle of intersection of the curve
b. Length of the curve
c. Area of the fillet of a curve

A simple curve has a central angle of 36° and a degree of

curve of 6 °.

Determine the following:

a. Nearest distance from the midpoint of the curve to the
point of intersection of the tangents.

b. Distance from the midpoint of the curve to the midpoint of

the long chord joining the point of curvature and the point of
tangency.

c. If the stationing of the point of curvature is at 10+020,

compute the stationing of a point on the curve which
intersects with the line making a deflection angle of 8° with
the tangent through the PC
