Hi, in the following problem, I need to find the inertia of the system. The axis of rotation passes through the center of mass ( the pink dot). I understand that I will be equal to 4(mr^2). However, I do not understand why r= 3 (6 divided by 2) and not sqrt13 ( half of the diagonal of the rectangle).
