Transcribed Image Text:**Title: Finding the Centroid of a Cross-Section**
**Objective:**
Determine the centroid of the illustrated cross-section planes.
**Description of the Diagram:**
The diagram illustrates a trapezoidal shape with two parallel sides:
- The overall height is 6 inches.
- The width at the bottom is 7 inches.
- The top parallel section measures 1 inch in width.
- The left side extends vertically measuring 6 inches.
- On the right side of the trapezoid, there is a 2-inch segment going vertically upwards and a 2-inch segment angled back towards the center line.
Within the trapezoid:
- There is a rectangular cut-out that measures 2 inches in width and extends vertically 2 inches.
**Task:**
Calculate the centroid by using geometric and arithmetic methods to divide the shape into regular components. Calculate the area and moment of each part with respect to a convenient axis.
