Question
A two parallel tangents, having an azimuth of
1,567.1 degrees, are having 45.7 meters apart
distance and were connected by a reverse curve.
The length of the common tangent is 153.6
meters and the station of the first vertex is
18+100. The value of the tangent connecting PC
and the first vertex is three-fourths the value of
the common tangent in meters. Compute for the
length of the shorter radius between the two
curves in meters.
