In setting out a circular railway curve, it is found out that the curve must pass through a point 50 meters from the intersection point and equidistant from the tangents. The stationing of the point of intersection is 80 + 280 and the intersection angle is 28°. Calculate the (a) radius of the curve, (b) stationing at the point of curvature, (c) the stationing at the point of tangency and (d) the degree of curvature. Use arc basis

Question
In setting out a circular railway curve, it is found out that the curve
must pass through a point 50 meters from the intersection point and
equidistant from the tangents. The stationing of the point of
intersection is 80 + 280 and the intersection angle is 28°. Calculate
the (a) radius of the curve, (b) stationing at the point of curvature, (c)
the stationing at the point of tangency and (d) the degree of curvature.
