In your engineering survey course, your instructor put you in a group to help a transportation engineering Company to design a road that runs a 5°50’ curve to P.C.C and 275 m. long from P.C. of the compound curve. Then a 2°15’ curve runs towards P.T., which is 590 m long. The company ask your team to compute the following for the design of the new road of ‘NU Normal Lane.” Length of the long chord connecting P.C. and P.T. The angle that the long chord makes with the first tangent Stationing of P.C if the stationing of P.T. is 10 + 897.30 m
