Three simple curves are connected to each other such that the first and the second curve forms a compound curve, while the second and the third curves form a reverse curve. The common tangent of the compound curve makes an angle of 45° and 60° with the tangent lines of the compound curve while the angle of convergence of the second tangent of the compound curve with the tangent of the third curve is 35°. The degree of curve of the 1st curve is 5°, while that of the second curve is 4°. Compute the radius of the third curve if the common tangent between the second and the third curve has a length of 220m.

Three simple curves are connected to each other such that the first and the
second curve forms a compound curve, while the second and the third curves
form a reverse curve. The common tangent of the compound curve makes an
angle of 45° and 60° with the tangent lines of the compound curve while the
angle of convergence of the second tangent of the compound curve with the
tangent of the third curve is 35°. The degree of curve of the 1st curve is 5°, while
that of the second curve is 4°. Compute the radius of the third curve if the
common tangent between the second and the third curve has a length of 220m.
