How should I work this out
### Problem Statement:

Consider the area shown in (Figure 1). Suppose that:

\( a = h = b = 130 \) mm

**Part A:**
Locate the centroid \( \bar{y} \) of the area.

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

#### Answer Box:
\[ \bar{y} = \text{Value} \, \text{Units} \]

Click Submit to provide your answer.


### Figure Explanation:

#### Figure 1:
The graph consists of two functions plotted on the Cartesian plane:

1. **Function 1**: \( y = x \)
2. **Function 2**: \( y = \frac{a}{h} x^2 \)

The enclosed area between these two curves lies between \( x = 0 \) and \( x = b \), forming a shaded region. The coordinate axes are labeled as \( x \) (horizontal axis) and \( y \) (vertical axis). The intersection of the curves with the axes are at:

- Point \( (0, 0) \)
- The line \( y = x \) intersects the horizontal axis at point \( (b, 0) \)
- The curve \( y = \frac{a}{h} x^2 \) intersects the vertical axis at point \( (0, h) \)

This shaded region is the area for which the centroid \( \bar{y} \) needs to be located.

### Instructions:

1. Use the given values: \( a = 130 \) mm, \( h = 130 \) mm, and \( b = 130 \) mm.
2. Calculate the centroid \( \bar{y} \) of the shaded area.
3. Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
