Solve Using Cramer's Rule W1W _ { 1 } And W2W _ { 2 }

Question 171

Multiple Choice

Solve using Cramer's Rule.
-Linear systems occur in the design of roof trusses for new homes and buildings. The simplest type of roof truss is a triangle. The truss shown in the figure is used to frame roofs of small buildings. If a 109-pound force is applied at the peak of the truss, then the forces or weights W1W _ { 1 } and W2W _ { 2 } exerted parallel to each rafter of the truss are determined by the following linear system of equations. Solve the system to find W1W _ { 1 } and W2W _ { 2 } .
