Rail planners want to connect the two straight tracks with a curved track as shown. Any curves must have a
radius of at least 450 m. Answer parts a and b.
106°
to Arville: 5 km
to Bremen:
3.5 km
450 m
450 m
a. Explain how engineers can locate point P, the center of the curved section of track.
The existing tracks are tangent to the curve, so the angle at P is
Also, P is on the angle bisector of the angle formed by the existing tracks. If x is the distance
from where the existing tracks intersect to P, then cos
V so x =
m. They should follow the angle bisector from the intersection of the existing track
m to find P.
