A simple curve have tangents AB and BC intersecting at a common point B. AB has an azimuth of 180° and BC has an azimuth of 230°. The stationing of the point of curvature at A is 10+140.26. If the degree of curve of the simple curve is 4°. a) Compute the length of the long chord from A. b) Compute the distance AB of the curve. c) Compute the stationing of a point "x" on the curve on which a line passing through the center of the curve makes an angle of 58° with the line AB, intersects the curve at point "x".

Problem 1.
A simple curve have tangents AB and BC intersecting at a common point B. AB has an azimuth of 180°
and BC has an azimuth of 230°. The stationing of the point of curvature at A is 10+140.26. If the degree of
curve of the simple curve is 4°.
a) Compute the length of the long chord from A.
b) Compute the distance AB of the curve.
c) Compute the stationing of a point "x" on the curve on which a line passing through the center of the
curve makes an angle of 58° with the line AB, intersects the curve at point "x".
