Question
**Problem Statement:**

For a highway curve with \( D_a = 5^\circ 00' \), \( I = 20^\circ 30' \), and PI station = 63 + 25.53 ft, calculate the requested values to lay out the circular curve at full stations (100 ft).

---

**Part D:**

**Objective:** Calculate the middle ordinate \( M \).

**Answer Provided:**

- \( M = 18.29 \, \text{ft} \)

Feedback: Correct answer is shown. Your answer 18.28 ft was either rounded differently or used a different number of significant figures than required for this part.

---

**Part E:**

**Objective:** Calculate the external distance \( E \).

**Answer Provided:**

- \( E = 18.58 \, \text{ft} \)

Feedback: Correct answer is shown. Your answer 18.585 ft was either rounded differently or used a different number of significant figures than required for this part.

---

**Part F:**

**Objective:** Tabulate stations, deflection angles, and incremental chords to lay out the curve at full stations (100 ft).

- **Instructions:** 
  - Express angles in degrees to four decimal places.
  - Express first station numbers as integers.
  - Express second station numbers and chord lengths in feet to two decimal places.
  - The PC station should be placed at the bottom of the table.

**Table Structure:**

- Columns: Station, Chord, Defl. Increment, Defl. Angle.
- Example data:
  - Chord for first entry: 00.00
  - Defl. Increment for first entry: 2.500

This part requires filling out tabulated data for stations along the curve, considering precise calculations in chord length and deflection angles.

**Part F**

**Instruction:** Tabulate stations, deflection angles, and incremental chords to lay out the curve at full stations (100 ft).

**Guidelines:**
- Express angles in degrees to four decimal places.
- Express first station numbers as integers.
- Second station numbers and chord lengths should be expressed in feet to two decimal places. 
- The PC station should be placed at the bottom of the table.

**Table Layout:**

- **Columns:**
  - **Station:** Consists of two fields for entry, the first for the integer part and the second for the decimal part (displayed as "+ 00.00").
  - **Chord:** Field for entering chord length.
  - **Defl. Increment:** Pre-filled with "2.500".
  - **Defl. Angle:** Field for entering deflection angle.

- **Rows:** 
  - Each row provides space for entering data for each station.
  - All rows have pre-filled values for "Defl. Increment" set to 2.500.

**Buttons:**
- **Submit:** To submit the completed table.
- **Request Answer:** To request assistance or answers.

**Contextual Information:**
The table is designed for detailed input and calculation of stations, chords, and deflection angles necessary for the engineering layout of a curve, with precision required for each measurement type.
