2. A simple curve is to connect two tangents whose azimuth is 246° and 282° respectively. The curve is to pass a point B whose perpendicular distance from tangent through PC (at point A) is 40 ft. Point A at station 20+92.021 is 120 ft from the point of intersection of the tangents. a) Find the radius of the curve. b) Find the stationing of point B. c) Find the stationing of the PT.
