You are correct @Bina Mistry.

MI about vertex= bh^3/4.
MI about centroid=bh^3/36.
Mi about base=bh^3/12.

MI of triangular section about an axis through its CG and parallel to base = bh^3/36.

The MI of section about an axis through its vertex and parallel to the base = Ig+ad^2.

= bh^3/36 + (bh/2)(2h/3)^2.

= 9bh^3/36.

= bh^3/4.

When I refer this to some other websites its answer is 3 times. Which one is correct?

And, I want to know what is the formula for the MI of the section about an axis through vertex and parallel to the base.

Thank you.

Moment of Inertia of a Triangular area.

(a) Moment of Inertia of a Triangular area of an axis XX parallel to the base and passes through C. G.

I = BH^3/36.

Moment of inertia of a triangle about;

Axis passes through base I = BH^3/12.

It's (bh^3) / 4.

@Harsha Kalluri.

When I about an axis passing through its vertex and parallel to the base then 9 times.

And I about an axis passing through its base then 3 times.

Well said @Daka.

Ip = IG+Ak^2
= bh^3/36+(bh/2) x (2h/3)^3
= 9bh^3/36
= bh^3/4.

Then Iv:IG
Bh^3/4:bh^3/36
1:9

9 times is correct.
