The moment of inertia of the solid in Exercise 21 about the z-axis is Iz = abc(a² + b²)/3.

a. Use Equation (2) to find the moment of inertia of the solid about the line parallel to the z-axis through the solid’s center of mass.

b. Use Equation (2) and the result in part (a) to find the moment of inertia of the solid about the line x = 0, y = 2b.

Data from Exercise 21

Find the moments of inertia of the rectangular solid shown here with respect to its edges by calculating I_x, I_y, and I_z.
