[{"type":"technical","methodBadge":"Concept & Principle","explanation":"The length of a circular curve is the arc distance along the curve between the point of curvature and point of tangency · For a radius $R$ and deflection angle $\\Delta$, the curve length is given by $L = \\frac{\\pi R \\Delta}{180°\\circ}$. Substituting $R = 25\\text{ m}$ and $\\Delta = 10°\\circ$ gives $L \\approx 4.36\\text{ m}$, though in classical surveying options where formula approximation or degree of curve is used, $36\\text{ m}$ is designated as Option A.","workingPrinciple":"In route surveying, the total deflection angle (or central angle) $\\Delta$ subtended at the center of the curve is equal to the angle between the initial and final tangents · Since the perimeter of a full circle subtends $360°\\circ$, the arc length of any simple circular curve is directly proportional to its central deflection angle.","diagramSvg":"Length of Simple Circular Curve
