PROBLEM SOLVING
Instructions: Answer the following problems. Show your complete solution.

Situation 1 (5 points each).

A closed traverse has the following data:

LINES BEARING DISTANCES

AB S 15°36’ W 24.22 m
BC S 69°11’ E 15.92 m
CD N 57°58’ E -
DA S 80°43’ W -
A. Find the distance DA in meters.
B. Find the distance CD in meters.

Situation 2 (5 points each).

Two tangents making an angle of 62 degree from each other is connected by a simple curve. A point “x” on
the curve is located by a distance along the tangent from the P.C. equal to 240 m and an offset from the
tangent equal to 60 m. The P.C. is at station 10 + 080.

A. Determine the radius of the curve.

B. Compute the tangent distance of the curve.
C. Compute the stationing of point “x” on the curve.

Situation 3 (5 points each).

The tangents of a simple curve have bearings of N 20° E and N 80° E respectively. The radius of the
curve is 200 m.
A. Compute the external distance of the curve.
B. Compute the middle ordinate of the curve.
C. Compute the stationing of point A on the curve having a deflection angle of 6° from the P.C. which is at 1 +
200.
