Horizontal curve question: A turn around pattern which fits with the topography is provided in a highway by connecting four tangents with compound curve consisting of three simple curves. The azimuths of AB = 220deg15min, BC = 264deg30min, CD = 320deg24min, and DE = 32deg58min. The radius of the last curve is four times sharper than the first curve. The distance BC = 303m and CD = 200m. If P.C. is at 12 + 000.00, what is the stationing of P.T.?
