Figure (a) shows the cross-sectional dimensions for the structural steel section known as C1020 (channel with a nominal depth of 10 in., weighing 201b/ft). The American Institute of Steel Construction Structural Steel Handbook lists the following properties for the cross section: A=5.88in.2,Ix=78.9in.4, and Iy=2.81in.4. If two of these channels are welded together as shown in Fig. (b), find Ix and Iy for the resulting cross section.
