How to solve the question step by step 

**Problem 5.4** - Locate the centroid of the plan area shown by integration.

This diagram features a two-dimensional, asymmetric triangular region described within a coordinate plane. It is utilized for finding the centroid through integration.

### Details:
- **Axes Configuration**: 
  - The x-axis is horizontal.
  - The y-axis is vertical.
  
- **Boundary Descriptions**:
  - The left boundary is defined by the line \( y = x(13 - x) \).
  - The lower boundary is \( y = x^2 + \frac{14}{3} + 1.1x \).
  
- **Critical Points and Measurements**:
  - The bottom-left corner of the area starts 1 m from the y-axis and 2 m above the x-axis.
  - The area extends to the right, spanning a distance of 4 m.
  - The top point of the boundary reaches 6 m along the y-axis.
  
- **Area**:
  - Displays a complex boundary, requiring integration for centroid determination.

The grid in the background provides a reference for measurements with each square representing 1 square meter for easy calculation and visualization. The shaded region and the mathematical expressions signify the area of interest for calculating the centroid, employing calculus techniques.
