Central Angle of Curve for given Tangent Distance

LaTeX Go Central Angle of Curve = (Tangent Distance/(sin(1/2)*Radius of Circular Curve))

Exact Tangent Distance

LaTeX Go Tangent Distance = Radius of Circular Curve*tan(1/2)*Central Angle of Curve

Degree of Curve for given Radius of Curve

LaTeX Go Degree of Curve = (5729.578/Radius of Circular Curve)*(pi/180)

Radius of Curve using Degree of Curve

LaTeX Go Radius of Circular Curve = 50/(sin(1/2)*(Degree of Curve))
