Question

2 existing highways are to be connected by a simple curve of 2° (100m 
arc basis). The first highway has a North azimuth of -18°26’34” while 
the second highway has a South azimuth of -47°21’08”. Determine the 
required length of curve to be constructed and the station of the end 
of the curve given that the theoretical intersection of both highways 
was found to be at STA. 3+016. (Draw the figure)

 

Please show complete solution.
