SOLUTION:
3. Connect the centerline height to the coordinates until you reach the
farthest coordinate as shown. Now that you have your figure you can now
determine the area of the given cross-section.

• NOW THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO DRAW THE

CROSS-SECTION, DETERMINE THE
VALUES OF “a” AND “b” THEN FINISH
THE PROBLEM.
• THIS PROBLEM IS TO BE SUBMITTED
