Calculate the moments of inertia with respect to the x-x and y-y axes of the following shapes. If necessary, use the transfer
formula and tabular method. Report the answers in units of in.$^4$, ft$^4$, cm$^4$, or mm$^4$ as appropriate.
Some of these problems can be solved with formulas in Appendix C. If the Transfer Formula is required, be sure to draw the
compound shape, identifying the reference axis and clearly labeling the shapes, $x$, $y$, $d_x$, and $d_y$ dimensions. If you need
the transfer formula to solve for both $I_x$ and $I_y$, draw a separate diagram for each solution, and create two tables.
