Question
**Problem Statement:**

Solve for \( AB \), \( BH \), and \( HG \). Use only one section cut.

**Diagram Description:**

The diagram represents a truss structure with several joints and members. It is supported at two points: one on the left at point \( A \) and one on the right at point \( E \). The structure has a symmetric design with triangular and rectangular sections.

- **Joints and Members:**
  - Points \( A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H \).
  - Members \( AB, BC, CD, DE, BH, HG \), and others are outlined.
  
- **Dimensions:**
  - The horizontal distance between each vertical joint (e.g., \( AH, HG \)) is 12 feet.
  - Vertical members, such as \( BH \) and \( GF \), are 9 feet.
  
- **Load:**
  - There is a downward load of 24 kips at point \( F \).

Use the given truss diagram and dimensions to determine the forces in members \( AB \), \( BH \), and \( HG \). Apply the method of joints or sections, considering equilibrium conditions.
