Question
I got 736.478 but that's incorrect. Need help.

**Diagram Explanation:**
- The I-beam is oriented vertically, with the y-axis indicated at the top and the x-axis at the center.
- The dimensions of the I-beam are labeled:
- The width of the top and bottom flanges is \(7.073 \, \text{in.}\).
- The thickness of each flange is \(0.628 \, \text{in.}\).
- The height of the web (vertical section between the flanges) is \(16.25 \, \text{in.}\).
- The thickness of the web is \(0.380 \, \text{in.}\).
**Calculated Moment of Inertia:**
\[
\text{Answer: } \bar{I}_x = 736.478 \, \text{in.}^4

Transcribed Image Text:The cross-sectional area of a wide-flange I-beam has the dimensions shown. Obtain a close approximation to the handbook value of \( \bar{I}_x = 654 \, \text{in.}^4 \) by treating the section as being composed of three rectangles.
