#### Instructions for Solving Truss Joints

**Objective:**
- Solve Joint A and Joint C using the Method of Joints.
- Solve Joint B using the Law of Sines.
- Solve Joint D using the Axis Rotation Method.
- Utilize the provided space to draw and set up your triangles and diagrams.

#### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram shows a simplified truss structure with points labeled A, B, C, D, E, and F. The angles and distances between points are given as follows:
- Angle between AB and BC is \(60^\circ\).
- Angle between AC and CE is \(77.5^\circ\).
- Angle labeled at BCD is \(42.5^\circ\).
- Angle at CDF is \(70^\circ\).

A \(100 \text{ lbs}\) load is applied downward at point C.

#### Data Tables

1. **Joint Forces Table (General)**

   \[
   \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|}
   \hline
   \text{Member} & X & Y & \text{Load} & T \text{ or } C \\
   \hline
   AB & & & & \\
   AC & & & & \\
   BC & & & & \\
   BD & & & & \\
   CD & & & & \\
   CE & & & & \\
   DE & & & & \\
   DF & & & & \\
   \hline
   \end{array}
   \]

2. **Joint D Forces Table**

   \[
   \begin{array}{|c|c|c|}
   \hline
   \text{Member} & X & Y \\
   \hline
   BD & & \\
   CD & & \\
   DE & & \\
   DF & & \\
   \hline
   \end{array}
   \]

### Methods Overview

- **Method of Joints:** 
  Analyzes each joint separately, applying equilibrium equations to solve for unknown forces.

- **Law of Sines:** 
  Useful for solving triangles where the angle and the opposite side’s lengths are known.

- **Axis Rotation Method:** 
  Involves simplifying the calculations by rotating the axes, often used in skewed or asymmetrical joints.
