Determine the centroid ( x and y [this is x bar and y bar] ). If the centroid is at the line of symmetry, then state so.

Transcribed Image Text:The diagram displays a technical drawing of a geometric shape with various dimensions labeled in inches.
- The main shape is a rectangular section with a trapezoidal extension on the right.
- The left side measures 6 inches vertically.
- The bottom horizontal line is divided into three segments: the first segment from the left is 2 inches, the middle segment measures 7 inches across the entire drawing's base.
- The upper segment of the trapezoid is 4 inches wide.
- At the top, the rectangle portion starts at 1 inch from the left.
- The slanted line of the trapezoid starts 1 inch down from the top of the rectangle.
- On the right side, the vertical measurement is 2 inches at the top and an additional 2 inches at the bottom, making the entire vertical end 4 inches.
- There is a small rectangle inscribed near the center, with indeterminate dimensions labeled vertically.
The diagram includes dimension lines to indicate measured distances, with arrows defining the extents of each measurement.
