Question
**Problem: Determine the Moments of Inertia and Radii of Gyration**

Given a right triangle with the following dimensions:
- Height along the y-axis: 11 ft
- Base along the x-axis: 22 ft
- Height at point opposite to the y-axis: 5.5 ft

The diagram shows a right triangle oriented with its right angle at point O, situated on the coordinate origin (0, 0). The hypotenuse slopes upwards from point O to the top corner of the triangle.

**Objective:**

Calculate the moments of inertia \( I_x' \), \( I_y' \), and \( J_O \) in ft\(^4\) for the section:

- \( I_x' = \_\_\_\_ \) ft\(^4\)
- \( I_y' = \_\_\_\_ \) ft\(^4\)
- \( J_O = \_\_\_\_ \) ft\(^4\)

Next, determine the radii of gyration \( k_x' \), \( k_y' \), and \( k_O \) in feet:

- \( k_x' = \_\_\_\_ \) ft
- \( k_y' = \_\_\_\_ \) ft
- \( k_O = \_\_\_\_ \) ft

**Notes:**

- The area moment of inertia about the x-axis, \( I_x' \), measures the triangle's resistance to rotation about the x-axis.
- The area moment of inertia about the y-axis, \( I_y' \), measures the triangle’s resistance to rotation about the y-axis.
- \( J_O \) is the polar moment of inertia about point O.
- Radii of gyration help indicate how the area is distributed with respect to an axis.

This problem involves fundamental concepts in structural engineering and mechanics, focusing on calculating the moment of inertia and radii of gyration for a triangle section.
