### Diagram Description:
The diagram shows a suspended lamp attached by three cords. The setup includes:
- A point E where cord BE (30 degrees from horizontal) is connected to the left wall.
- A point D where cord CD, forming angle θ from horizontal, is connected to the right wall.
- The lamp is supported by a vertical cord at point A.
- Horizontal distance CE = 6 feet.
- Vertical line from point B to A is labeled with angle 60 degrees from horizontal.
