The deflection angles from PC to two intermediate points A and B on a simple curve are 4.2° and 9.6°, respectively. The length of the chord between A and B is 41.7m. If the bearing of the back and forward tangents are N48°E and N60.2°W, respectively, determine the distance along the curve from PC to PT.
