Transcribed Image Text:**Problem 4**
Calculate the location of the centroid for the shaded shape at left. Mark the centroid on the figure.
**Answers:** 5.36"; 6.15"
### Explanation of the Diagram:
The diagram displays a composite shape on a grid with dimensions marked. It is divided into twelve 1-inch by 1-inch squares.
- **Parabolic Arc:** The top left area contains a parabolic arc.
- **Notch:** There is a notch at the lower left.
- **Shaded Area:** The shape has shaded sections indicating areas to be considered in the centroid calculation.
**Dimensions:**
- Overall width is 9 inches, separated into 6 inches (left) and 3 inches (right).
- Vertical sections are marked as: 3", 2", 3", 3", and 2", from top to bottom.
The task involves finding the centroid coordinates of this complex shape based on these dimensions.
