**Title: Determining the Centroid of a Shaded Area**

**Objective:**  
Determine the x- and y-coordinates of the centroid of the shaded area.

**Diagram Description:**  
The diagram shows a shaded geometric shape consisting of a rectangle with a right triangle on top. The dimensions of the shape are given in millimeters:

- The base of the shape runs along the x-axis and is a total of 265 mm long (70 mm + 195 mm).
- The left side of the shape is 210 mm high (70 mm for the rectangle and 140 mm for the triangle's height).
- The width of the triangle's base is 195 mm. 

**Dimensions:**

- The shorter rectangle on the left has a height of 70 mm and a width of 70 mm.
- A larger rectangle area of 195 mm width is included, constituting the base for the right triangle.

**Solution:**

**Answers:**  
The coordinates of the centroid are:

- \((\overline{X}, \overline{Y}) = (197.5, 93.333)\) mm

These coordinates represent the center of mass or balance point of the shaded area.
