QUESTION 2 Two tangents AB and BC intersect at an angle of 24°0'0". A curve is formed from point A to C. A point on the curve, D, is found along the curve near A. Point D is located 21.03 m from point B, and has a perpendicular distance of 2.79 m from line AB. a. Calculate the radius of the simple curve connecting the two tangents and passing point D Answer: R= m b. Calculate the length of the chord connecting PC and point D Answer: C = m Note: Unit has been provided after the blank space. No need to indicate units on your answer.
