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) = (−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 (−5.0 cm, −4.0 cm, 0). 

(d) What are the x- and y-coordinates of the center of mass of the system?
