Perpendicular Axis Theorem
• For flat objects the
rotational moment of inertia
Iy = (1/12) b3d
of the axes in the plane is
related to the moment of
inertia perpendicular to the
Ix = (1/12) bd3 d plane.

Parallel-Axis Theorem for an Area
• Used to calculate the moment of inertia about other axis.
• The moment of inertia of an area about an axis is equal to the
moment of inertia of the area about a parallel axis passing through
the area’s Centroid plus the product of the area and the square of
the perpendicular distance between the axes.

Moment of Inertia - Parallel
Axis Theorem
Consider an axis BB’
parallel to AA’ through the
Centroid C of the area,
known as the centroidal
axis. The equation of the

• Steps to follow:
– Divide the composite area into smaller and simpler parts
– Find the Centroid of each part
– Calculate the moment of inertia (I) for each part about its centroidal axis
– Use parallel-axis theorem to calculate the moment of inertia of each part
about the given axis (normally the centroidal axis of composite area, if
this is the case, very likely you need to find the Centroid of that
composite area first)
– Take the algebraic sum of the moments of inertia of all parts to get the
moment of inertia of the composite area
