[{"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°. Substituting $R = 25\text{ m}$ and $\Delta = 10°$ 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 $360°$, the arc length of any simple circular curve is directly proportional to its central deflection angle.","diagramSvg":"Length of Simple Circular Curve
