Activity 10 Compound Reverse and Vertical Curve

The document describes a reverse curve with two curves of equal radius (229.18m) and degrees (5°0'0") but different internal angles (25° and 30°). The total length of the common tangent between the two curves is 112.22m, with the length of the chord from PC to PCC being 99.21m and from PCC to PT being 118.63m.
