Discussion on Problem 348 | Equilibrium of Non-Concurrent Force System

In this problem …the fixed support at point A has been shown to have only Ax i,e horizontal component while the fixed support at point B has both horizontal and vertical components, Bx and By. Is there any specific reason for the support at point A to not have the vertical component? I don’t know what I am missing here.Any help would be greatly appreciated.=]].
