3. Two tangents intersect at chainages 50.60 (50 chains and 60 links), the deflection angle being 61°. Calculate the necessary data for setting out a circular highway curve of 20 chains radius to connect the two tangents by the method of offsets from chords. Take peg interval equal to 100 links with length of the chain being 20 meters (100 links).
