Question

For the space truss shown, check the sufficiency of the supports and also the number of and arrangement of the members to ensure statical determinacy, both external and internal. Determine the forces in members AEBEBF, and CE. The forces are positive if in tension, negative if in compression.

Please do not have the same exact wrong answer as I have in my picture. (I have people answer my question with still the wrong answer)
