The long chord from PC to PT of a compound curve is 320m long, and the angles it makes with the first and third tangents are 14° and 16°, respectively. If the common tangent is parallel to the long chord, solve the following: a. The radius of the first curve (R1).  b. The radius of the second curve (R2).  c. If station of PC is 8+200, compute the station of PT.
