A reversed curve with diverging tangents is to pass through three lines to form a centerline of a proposed road. The first line AB has a bearing of N 88° E with a distance of 120m, BC has a bearing of N 62° E with a distance of 340m, BC has a bearing of S 40° E with a distance of 300m, If the first tangent has a distance of only one-fourth that of the common tangent measured from the point of intersection of the first curve, compute the: a. Radius of the 1st curve. b. Radius of the 2nd curve. c. Stationing of the P.T., if P.C. is at station 12 + 340m
