Find the rotational inertia of the system of point particles shown in the figure assuming the system

Question:

Find the rotational inertia of the system of point particles shown in the figure assuming the system rotates about the
(a) x -axis,
(b) y -axis,
(c) z -axis.
The z -axis is perpendicular to the xy -plane and points out of the page. Point particle A has a mass of 200 g and is located at ( x, y, z ) = ( ˆ’ 3.0 cm, 5.0 cm, 0), point particle B has a mass of 300 g and is at (6.0 cm, 0, 0), and point particle C has a mass of 500 g and is at ( ˆ’ 5.0 cm, ˆ’ 4.0 cm, 0). (d) What are the x - and y -coordinates of the center of mass of the system?
