    - Moment of inertia along Ixx = (π/64) D4

    - Moment of inertia along Iyy = (π/64) D4

    - For semi-circle

    Ixx = 0.11 R4

    Iyy = (π/128) D4 or (π/8) R4

    - For right angled triangle

    Ixx =Iyy = bh3/36

    - Isosceles triangle

    - Moment of inertia along Ixx = bh3/ 36

    - Moment of inertia along Iyy = hb3/ 48
