Two tangents converge at an angle of 30°. The direction of the forward tangent is due East. The distance from the vertex of the first curve to the vertex of the second curve is 116.5 m. The bearing of the common tangent is S 40° E. If a reversed curve is to connect these 2 tangents determine the common radius
