The moment of inertia of a triangular section of height h about an axis passing through its C.G and parallel to its base is given as,

I = bh3/36.

The moment of inertia of a triangular section of height h about its base is given as,

I = bh3/12.

I = bh3/12 for triangular section oh height h about its base, and centroid of triangular section is given by 1/3.

So I = bh3/12*1/3. Which is bh3/36?

Parallel axis:

I=Icg+A*H^2
I=BH^3/36 + 1/2BH*H/3^2.
I=BH^3/36+ BH^3/18,
I=BH^3 +2BH^3/36,
I=BH^3(1+2)/36,
I=BH^3(3)/36,
I=BH^3/12.

Please can anyone explain more about the moment of inertia rule?

CG point 1,2.

So CG from the base: 1/3.
So, 1/12 * 1/3 = 1/36.

The Center of gravity lies at 1/3 rd of height from base.
