### Truss Problem Analysis

**Objective:**
Find the force in member \( BF \).

**Hint Provided:**
It may help to locate the point where the lines \( ABCD \) and \( EFGH \) intersect.

**Diagram Details:**

- **Truss Configuration:**
  - The truss is supported vertically on the left side at point \( H \) and horizontally extends to point \( D \), where a load \( P \) is applied.
  - Vertical members: \( DA \), \( CB \), and \( GE \).
  - Horizontal members: \( AB \), \( BC \), and \( CD \).
  - Diagonal members: \( AF \), \( BG \), and \( CG \).

- **Distances:**
  - Horizontal segments: \( AB = BC = CD = 12d \).
  - Vertical segment \( HE \): Total height = \( 25d \).
  - Load placement above line \( DE \): \( 10d \) above the bottom \( E \).

**Additional Notes:**
- Understanding the geometry and applying methods like the method of joints or method of sections can be useful.
- Considering the symmetry or specific intersecting lines mentioned in the hint may simplify calculations.
