A 6° simple curve has a central angle of 44°. The stationing of the point of curvature is 13+080. 1. Find the distance from the midpoint of the curve to the intersection of the tangents at PC and PT. 2. Find the distance from the midpoint of the curve to the midpoint of the long chord joining the point of curvature and the point of tangency. 3. Find the stationing of a point on the curve which intersects with the line making a deflection angle of 8° with the tangent through the PC. (Round off vour answers to three decimal places)
