Please show illustration if possible. A compound curve has a length of the chord of the first curve (passing thru PC to PT) of 470m. And a length of the chord (from PCC to PT) of 230m. If the angle that the long chord makes with the chord from PC to PCC and from PT to the PCC is 6 degrees and 9 degrees respectively, find the length of the long chord.
