A simple curve in a highway is to be analyzed. The azimuth angle of its tangent lines are 1116.8 degree and 848.6 degree respectively. Point A is located 159.92 meter distance from PC along the curve. The location of point A in the curve is known from the deflection line created by a 14.9 degrees deflection angle from PT. Determine the area of the fillet of the simple curve in square meters.
