#GIS folks, (maybe #CAD too) how do you draw this kind of shape with guaranteed perfectly tangent lines and only 4 vertices?

I've been trying different things for 3-4 years on and off and the closest I've come is 5 vertices, ESRI leaves a spare vertex in there for some reason and so I don't know which one I delete will ruin the tangent

This is not a need, it's a mental chalenge

Practical application: you have two different radius curbs and you want to join them with a tangent line

It's a simliar operation to this but this is achievable by using the tangent curve tool and setting the radius to 0

But much harder if the two curves already exist and you are just trying to connect them
