### Calculating Centroidal Axes

**Task:**

5. Locate (calculate) the X-X and Y-Y centroidal axes for the area shown. Make sure to draw the **reference axes** used in the calculations. Use the tabulation method.

**Note:**

Reference axes are very important because all measurements are measured from them.

**Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram provided appears to be a composite area consisting of a rectangle with a triangular or truncated corner on the top right. The dimensions provided in the diagram are as follows:

- The base of the rectangle extends horizontally to 10 inches, divided into segments of 3 inches, 4 inches, and 3 inches.
- A triangular or curved top section extends vertically to the height of 3 inches above the rectangle.
- The rectangle has a height of 3 inches as well.
  
To calculate the centroid, divide the shape into elemental shapes (rectangles, triangles), determine the centroid of each shape, and then use the tabulation method to find the centroidal axes of the entire area.
