SOLUTION
See figure at solution of Problem 9.39.
Given:

J A = 2880 in.4 , J B = 6720 in.4 , J D = 4560 in.4

J B = J C + A(CB ) 2 ; 6720 in.4 = J C + A(62 + d 2 )

(1)

J D = J C + A(CD) 2 ; 4560 in.4 = J C + Ad 2

(2)

Eq. (1) subtracted by Eq. (2): J B J D = 2160 in.4 = A(6) 2

J A = J C + A( AC )2 ; 2880 in.4 = J C + (60 in.2 )(6 in.) 2
