circular curve fitting

[swah2000]

As the coordinates of two tangent points are fixed by some constraints. I would like to fit a circular curves to joint them together. If begin radius say is 80m. How can I find the second radius which shown in attached file ?

You don't seem to have fully defined all your constraints; is it supposed to be smooth curve? To what degree?

What was the rationale for picking 80?

One method would be to use the Sine Rule and Cosine Rule:

Solving, as follows:

Doing it graphically in CAD is easier using the AutoCAD 'ARC' command with 'Continue' arc.

Knowing the end point of first arc (R[sub]1[/sub] = 80000), and knowing the PT (tangent point of the end of the second arc) 'ARC Continue' will continue a tangent arc from the PCC (compound curve point) to the PT, then use 'dimension' to obtain the drawn radius.

I also get R[sub]2[/sub] = 41772 using CAD.
