Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Calculating the Centroid and Moment of Inertia**
**Objective:**
To find the centroid and moment of inertia about the x and y axes for the given geometric shape.
**Description:**
The diagram depicts a composite shape made of rectangles. There are two primary rectangles:
1. **Upper Rectangle:**
- Height: 15 inches
- Length: Unspecified (part of the longer base rectangle)
2. **Lower Rectangle (Base):**
- Total Length: 60 inches
- Height: 34 inches
- Comprised of three segments: two 24-inch segments on the sides and a 12-inch segment in the middle.
**Axes:**
- The \(x\)-axis runs horizontally along the base of the lower rectangle.
- The \(y\)-axis is vertical, intersecting the base rectangle.
**Task:**
- Determine the centroid (geometric center) of the shape.
- Calculate the moment of inertia about the x and y axes, which are critical for understanding the distribution of mass and structural integrity when the object is under stress.
