A reverse curve connects two converging tangents intersecting at an angle of 32". The direction of the second tangent is due east. The distance of this intersection from the PI of the second curve is 130 m. The deflection angle of the common tangent from the back tangent is 19° (R). The degree of curve of the second curve is 8° and the stationing of the P.C. is 10+ 128.40 m. Determine the following: *Radius of the first and second curve *Length and bearing of the common tangent *Stationing of the P.R.C. and the P.T.

Question
A reverse curve connects two converging tangents intersecting at an angle of 32". The direction of the second tangent is due east. The distance of this intersection from the PI of the second curve is 130 m. The deflection angle of the common tangent from the back tangent is 19° (R). The degree of curve of the second curve is 8° and the stationing of the P.C. is 10+ 128.40 m.
Determine the following:
*Radius of the first and second curve
*Length and bearing of the common tangent
*Stationing of the P.R.C. and the P.T.
*If a 15-meter width of road right way from the P.C. to the P.T. will be negotiated, compute the considered road area
