Self Study: COGO Intersections and Curves

Problem (1)

The parcel shown has four straight sides and one curved side.

A series of angle and distance measurements were made from points B, Q, and W.

The arc radius is 150.00 ft.

Using (100.00 ft N, 500.00 ft E) coordinates for B and a N15°40'00"E bearing from B to Q determine:

Part a.

Part b.

Central angle of the curved side.

Part c.

Parcel area (to nearest 10 sq ft).

Solution

Problem 2

Lot 17 is a corner parcel in a subdivision. Its boundary consists of a series of straight lines and tangent curves.

Using the provided information and (1000.00 ft N, 500.00 ft E) for the coordinates of point B, determine:

Part a.

Coordinates of the remaining points

Part b.

Lot 17's area (to nearest 10 sq ft).
