Question: Two Tangents intersect at Station 1 2 + 0 0 . The back tangent has a bearing of N 4 5 oE and is 1

Two Tangents intersect at Station 12+00. The back tangent has a bearing of N45oE and is 1,000 feet long (T = Tangent Distance =1,000 feet). The forward tangent has a bearing of S45oE and is 1,000 feet long. A curve with a radius of 1,000 feet is used to connect the two tangents. The Point of Intersection (PI) of the tangents is at coordinates 1,000,1,000. Using the length of the curve used to connect the Tangents, what is the station of the Point of Curvature (PC).
PC Station = PI Station T (Tangent distance)
One station (1+00)=100 feet),1,000 feet =10+00 or 10 stations
