The rectangular plate is deformed into the shape shown by the dashed line. Determine the shear strain at A and the average normal strain along edge BC if

S = 50 mm, S’ = 53 mm, ?x1 = 3 mm, and ?x2 = 8 mm

Extra Credit ( 15 points) The rectangular plate is deformed into the shape shown by the dashed line. Determine the shear strain at \( A \) and the average normal strain along edge \( B C \) if \( S=50 \mathrm{~mm}, S^{\prime}=53 \mathrm{~mm}, \Delta x_{1}=3 \mathrm{~mm} \), and \( \Delta x_{2}=8 \mathrm{~mm} \). Side \( D^{\prime} B^{\prime} \) remains horizontal.
