Directions: Please look at the following picture as this subject revolves around Centroids 

**Problem Statement:**

1. Use the method of composite areas to calculate the centroidal coordinates of the plane regions shown.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The image depicts a geometric shape combining a semicircle and a rectangle, with some dimensions specified:

- The rectangle has a width of 10 inches and includes half of a semicircle on the right side.
- Inside the semicircle, there is an inscribed circle with a radius of 3 inches.
- The overall shape extends horizontally along the x-axis and vertically along the y-axis.
- The inscribed circle is tangent to the rectangle's left side and centered 6 inches from the left edge horizontally.

**Dimensions:**

- The width of the full shape: 10 inches.
- The radius of the larger semicircle: Not explicitly mentioned; needs to be inferred or calculated.
- The radius of the inscribed circle: 3 inches.

**Task:**

Use composite area methods to determine the centroid (geometric center) of this combined shape, considering both the rectangle and the semicircle components.
