### Problem #5: 
#### Given:
The diagram illustrates a composite shape composed of two structural sections: 

1. **C-Channel (C12 x 30)**: Positioned on the top of the composite shape. The C-Channel flanges point downwards.
   
2. **Wide Flange Beam (W8 x 31)**: Positioned vertically and forms the main stem of the composite shape.

#### Find:
Calculate \( I_x \) of the composite shape, which is the moment of inertia about the x-axis for the combined section.

---

### Diagram Explanation:

The diagram shows a T-shaped structure composed of:
- The **C12 x 30** channel horizontally on the top.
- The **W8 x 31** beam oriented vertically, forming the main vertical stem.

The challenge is to determine the moment of inertia about the x-axis for this entire configuration. This involves using the parallel axis theorem to combine the individual moments of inertia of each section.
