In a compound curve, the line connecting the P.I. at point V and the P.C.C. is an angle bisector. AV is 270m and BV is 90m. The stationing of A is 6+421 and that of B is 6+721. Point A is a along the tangent passing thru P.C. while point B is passing thru P.T. The P.C.C. is along line AB. a. Compute the radius of the first curve passing thru P.C. b. Compute the radius of the second curve passing thru P.T. c. Determine the length of chord from P.C. to P.t.
